Anybody else?  Particularly on ubuntu systems?

None of the other places I put -fno-stack-protector had any
effect, so I was just trying everything.  :(

No change; still the same error message.  I also tried adding a
similar section to gub/specs/darwin/gcc.py  (changing it to
   return (gcc.Gcc.configure_command...
but it still failed.

I'm really surprised that gcc would be the finicky; I would have
thought that a compiler would be as easy to compile as possible,
and the people working on gcc should have more experience with
compiling than anybody else in the world.  :)
