The actual enablement of stack protection is controlled by heuristics in GCC, which the code added for the EFI stub triggers when CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR is set. Even with CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR set, the decompressor was not compiled with stack protection actually enabled. Adding -fno-stack-protector to the decompressor/stub build keeps it building without stack protection as it has always been built. The x86 decompressor/stub is also build with -fno-stack-protector.
