More elegant would probably be to look at tools/perf/Makefile and handle
the problem as is done there:

CFLAGS = -ggdb3 -Wall -Wextra -std=gnu99 -Werror -O6 $(EXTRA_WARNINGS) $(EXTRA_CFLAGS) -fPIC

ifeq ($(call try-cc,$(SOURCE_HELLO),$(CFLAGS) -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2),y)
               CFLAGS := $(CFLAGS) -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
endif

I tested it here and it works well.
