Hardcoding such exceptions into all source packages is EBW. cupsys
runs a proper configure test whether -fstack-protector works, which
apparently succeeds on arm.

Either -fstack-protector should be fixed in gcc, or it should be
disabled on arm/armel, so that it is solved for all packages in the
archive, not just for cupsys.

Thanks,

Martin
