In recent ubuntu versions, gcc is configured to compile with
-fstack-protector by default (pretty retarded).

Either push -fno-stack-protector to CFLAGS or use gcc as the linker:
export MZSCHEME_DYNEXT_COMPILER_FLAGS=-fno-stack-protector
or
export MZSCHEME_DYNEXT_LINKER=/usr/bin/gcc

Or you can use gentoo :p
