-fstack-protector is only enabled by default when -nostdlib is not
specified. Perhaps this is what helps with kernel module builds, which
do specify -nostdlib (or at least are supposed to). As to
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2, it just should not matter when glibc's header files
are not included.
So I guess kernel module builds do work despite of these new defaults.
