Hi, you seem to have some C*FLAGS overriding the default ones
/usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-86-generic/arch/x86/Makefile:96: stack-protector enabled but compiler support broken

seems to indicate an fstack-protector flag somewhere.

Changed in virtualbox (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Invalid

How in the world do I change or fix this C*flags issue? I've tried google & can't find anything useful. Please point me to some reference if available. Thanks,
