make configure try to disable stack protector

in theory we could support stack protector in the libc itself, and
users wanting to experiment with such usage could add
-fstack-protector to CFLAGS intentionally. but to avoid breakage in
the default case, override broken distro-patched gcc that forces stack
protector on.
