I do think switching from fstack-protector to fstack-protector-strong is
a good idea, and I use if for the redhat builds, but I didn't mean to
include that change in my commit. I can send a commit to back it out if
it's causing an annoyance.  Once gcc 4.9 has been around for a while
longer, I'll resend a commit to include it.
