Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Seems this issue is caused by the version of your compiler (gcc/g++). See this line in DKMSBuildlog: "Makefile:702: Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG: -fstack-protector-strong not supported by compiler". Check your gcc version, if it's not major than 4.8 that can be the root cause. This flag was added in version >= 4.9.
