[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/qemu: fix host-qemu compilation with recent GCC

Fixes:
cc1: error: ‘-fcf-protection’ is not compatible with this target

The new Ubuntu GCC packages (e.g. Ubuntu 11.2.0-7ubuntu2, 11.2.0) turn
on ‘-fcf-protection’ globally, which causes a build failure in the x86
realmode code. Turn it off explicitly on compilers that understand this
option.

+Subject: [PATCH] build: disable fcf-protection on -march=486 -m16
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Some of the roms build with -march=i486 -m16 which is incompatible
+with -fcf-protection. That in turn is can be set by default, for
+example in Ubuntu [1].
+That causes:
+ cc1: error: ‘-fcf-protection’ is not compatible with this target
+
+This won't work on -march=i486 -m16 and no matter if set or not we can
+override it to "none" if the option is known to the compiler to be
+able to build reliably.
