Having had a look at glibc's implementation and its complexity ;-) that
might indeed be a reachable goal (assuming that no other surprises show
up):

debug/stack_chk_fail.c
#v+
[Copyright header.]

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


extern char **__libc_argv attribute_hidden;

void
__attribute__ ((noreturn))
__stack_chk_fail (void)
{
  /* The loop is added only to keep gcc happy.  */
  while (1)
    __libc_message (1, "*** stack smashing detected ***: %s terminated\n",
                    __libc_argv[0] ?: "<unknown>");
}
#v-


I'll give it a try.


Regards,
 Thomas
