Gcc versions before 4.4 do not recognize the __optimize__ compiler
attribute:

And we might want to remove the dummy in include/linux/compiler_types.h:

#ifndef __nostackprotector
# define __nostackprotector
#endif

BTW, how does this work with non-gcc compilers?

clang should in theory accept the same flags, and it pretends to be an older
version of gcc.

I don't think anyone cares about ICC or any other compiler.
