On Ubuntu, it is coming from lib/lib.a. It so happens that "make clean"
does not descend into lib/ and remove *.o and lib.a. So, I added
"-fno-stack-protector" to top level Makefile, ran "make clean" followed
by make and it didn't help because I continuesd to use the old lib.a.
Now that I have realized it, I added "(cd lib; rm -f *.o lib.a)" to the
clean target in toplevel Makefile and ran a "make clean". After this
lib/Makefile inherited -fno-stack-protector in CFLAGS from Make.rules
and everything builds correctly now.
