Hi!

kronosnet FTBFS on alpha, hppa and ia64 due to unconditional use of -fstack-protector
which is not supported on these targets and hence generates a compiler warning.

Since the package is being built with -Werror, this causes the package to FTBFS:

/bin/bash ../libtool  --tag=CC   --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..   -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O3 -ggdb3 -Werror -Wall -Wextra  -fPIC -DPIC -pie -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector-strong -fexceptions -D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -Wl,-z,now -fstack-clash-protection -Wno-unused-parameter -pthread -I/usr/include/libnl3 -I/usr/include/libnl3 -g -O2 -ffile-prefix-map=/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>=. -specs=/usr/share/dpkg/pie-compile.specs -Wformat -Werror=format-security -c -o libnozzle_la-libnozzle.lo `test -f 'libnozzle.c' || echo './'`libnozzle.c
libtool: compile:  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O3 -ggdb3 -Werror -Wall -Wextra -fPIC -DPIC -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector-strong -fexceptions -D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -Wl,-z,now -fstack-clash-protection -Wno-unused-parameter -pthread -I/usr/include/libnl3 -I/usr/include/libnl3 -g -O2 -ffile-prefix-map=/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>=. -specs=/usr/share/dpkg/pie-compile.specs -Wformat -Werror=format-security -c libnozzle.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/libnozzle_la-libnozzle.o
cc1: error: ‘-fstack-protector’ not supported for this target [-Werror]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Full log in [1]. Reported upstream as [2].

For a possible fix, have a look at this similar bug in libfido2 [3].
