[to-be-updated] makefile-introduce-config_cc_stackprotector_auto-fix-3.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: Makefile: fix empty flag results for stackprotector _AUTO mode
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     makefile-introduce-config_cc_stackprotector_auto-fix-3.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged

------------------------------------------------------
From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
Subject: Makefile: fix empty flag results for stackprotector _AUTO mode

If the compiler didn't support any stackprotector mode, the second empty
test would still trip.  This moves it to an "else" test for the non-AUTO
modes.
