Syslinux - Feb 2007 - Patch: Building syslinux on gcc 4

For newer distro's (like ubuntu 6.10, FC5+), syslinux build fails due
to gcc 4. Here is a patch to get it to build properly.

The only thing it does is add -fno-stack-protection to CFLAGS in all
the Makefiles.

Double NAK.  It's not gcc4, it's a specific hack which has been added by
ubuntu and gentoo (-fstack-protector by default).  It can't be added 
unconditionally like you did because it breaks earlier gccs.
