I'm pretty sure you don't need the ifeq there, you can simply define those
flags unconditionally.

You can't just add -fno-stack-protector unconditionally, because that
breaks building the kernel with toolchains that are older than stack-protector,
so this should be

CFLAGS_obj.o += $(call cc-option, -fno-stack-protector)

Other than that, the patch looks ok.
