I did not investigate deep enough.  I reviewed the generated code and
found %gs is accessed early for the C entry function and searched for
solution and I chose to copy the code that I thought is the most complete:
kernel/entry/Makefile

Using only "-fno-stack-protector" is enough to disable stack protector with
my .config, I'm not so sure about other configuration.
