Two Ubuntu users reported that libgcrypt11 fails stack-smashing
detection on VIA systems (we use -fstack-protector by default):

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgcrypt11/+bug/389053

Red Hat received a similar bug report and determined it to be a bug in
the padlock inline assembly; Tomas Mraz committed a fix for Fedora 11:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505724
  https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libgcrypt-1.4.4-6.fc11

I've attached the patch I've applied to Ubuntu's libgcrypt11 package for
this.

Thanks,
