[Bug 1574982] Re: Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG: -fstack-protector-strong not supported by compiler

[Nazar Mokrynskyi]

I was able to compile HHVM and Nvidia binary driver by reverting GCC
package to older version, now Xenial uses newer packages by default,
which makes compilation out of the box impossible.

This doesn't feel like dkms-specific issue, since HHVM is very different
thing and suffers from the same issue.

  the latest error logged is:

  Looks like it is related to the latest changes updates: gcc-6/gcc-5 5.3.1-16ubuntu2 (some packages built with gcc-6; gcc-5 disabled for the packages built with gcc-6)
  Maybe some alternatives has not been updated to take care of these changes, as asked some time ago:
