I just tried to test this, but I don't even get as far as mkelfimage - I get
stack protector errors building LinuxBIOS. Isn't buildrom supposed to pass
the stack protector to LB? Looks like that is not working for me. I'm
building on 64 bit.

This is with or without your patch, btw.

What am I doing wrong?
