No!

James, could you please check whether x86.git#testing:

   http://people.redhat.com/mingo/x86.git/README

works fine for you? That has all the current stackprotector fixes. I 
plan to send a separate pull request with just the stackprotector fixes 
to Linus, they are looking good in testing so far.

	Ingo
