Description SpanKY gentoo-dev

apparently perl-5.12.2 detects if gcc supports -fstack-protector and if so, enables it.  it should not be doing this at all and instead should be letting the gcc profile take care of things.

until upstream gets around to fixing the issue, here is a simple patch we can incorporate into the ebuild
