[llvm-commits] [patch] Fix PR5094: -fstack-protector fails to link on Linux/x86

[Nelson Elhage]

[bump] I haven't gotten an reply to this, and IRC suggested a reminder
would be appropriate.

I'm happy to rewrite this using a different approach if something else
would be more appropriate, but I'd love to see this bug fixed since it
affects my ability to compile projects I work on with clang.
