Well, from the web page referenced at the top of this message, you
can see that they are already aware of these issues:
Cons:
* It breaks current upstream kernel builds and potentially
other direct usages of gcc. Kernel is by far the most important use
case. Upstream should change the default options to build with
-fno-stack-protector by default.

I don't see why the kernel should have to insert compile flags to
counteract any random non-default compile flags that the system may
decide to insert. I think the way Ubuntu has done this is broken, they
are essentially changing the default settings on the compiler in a way
which breaks the kernel due to needing external libraries.
