nolibc only supports symbol-based stackprotectors, based on the global variable __stack_chk_guard. Support for this differs between architectures and toolchains. Some use the symbol mode by default, some require a flag to enable it and some don't support it at all. Before the nolibc test Makefile required the availability of "-mstack-protector-guard=global" to enable stackprotectors. While this flag makes sure that the correct mode is available it doesn't work where the correct mode is the only supported one and therefore the flag is not implemented. Switch to a more dynamic probing mechanism. This correctly enables stack protectors for mips, loongarch and m68k.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
