aclocal.m4: drop obsolete -fno-stack-protector
Summary:
Initially -fno-stack-protector was added for openbsd specifically for ghc-6.5:
changeset:f638fdfe1d9de1307355c8074fbff9c28342c0ef (2006)
and later it was extended to cover osx:
changeset:c2cd83e7d85c11e6a33e1cde263eb2312566d535 (2009)
None of the reports hint at exact breakage. I guess both happened
in -fvia-C mode where GHC's Evil Mangler had a chance to mangle
stack canaries generated by fstack-protector.
ghc has no evil mangler anymore and the change is not needed
at least for C codegen.
validated the patch on OpenBSD-6.4. No new failures compared to
clean master branch.
