It boots up fine with that patch below and:

tornado boot # grep STACKPROTECT /boot/config-2.6.25-mm1-wip
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL=y
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y

In fact I'm running with it applied right now and it all seems good so far, so I 
guess that's confirmation that it is just the test itself which is problematic?
