See the "older binutils?" above ;)
my toolchain is quite old,
$ ld -v GNU ld version 2.25-17.fc23but according to Documentation/process/changes.rst
binutils 2.25 ld -vit should be still supported.
So your issue happens because of older binutils? Any other ingredient?
Yes, I think so.
I'd like for the commit message to contain *exactly* what we're fixing here so that anyone who reads this, can know whether this fix is needed on her/his kernel or not...
OK. I'll update the subject/changelog to explain that this is only needed for the older binutils and send V2.
With it conditional on CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR, you can also drop PROVIDES().
