Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: Fix CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO to not enable SSP
Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2017 11:32:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171003183228.GA142273@beast> (raw)

There was a think-o in the logic for CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO, which
would leave CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR defined when a compiler didn't support
stack-protector. This usually won't cause a problem with a build, but it's
not correct, and shouldn't happen.

Andrew, if possible, can you squash this as a fix for the mmots patch
"makefile-introduce-config_cc_stackprotector_auto.patch"? If not, that's fine.
