2.6.17.14 compile error, VServer/Grsecurity patch.

I just tried compiling the latest stable version of Linux-VServer into a new kernel from http://linux-vserver.org and now I'm getting a few errors which read as follows:

From the looks of this it seems the only thing that's missing is __stack_chk_fail, but how can this be fixed? If there was something I forgot to compile in through menuconfig I'd have to know what it is.

Would I have better luck on the grsecurity forums or just by using a different release?

(EDIT: okay, if CFLAGS -fno-stack-protector doesn't work I'll just have to find another way.)
