 From the page [1] you mentioned:

"If so, that seems to me like an abuse of the -D option."

The abuse is in changing the compiler behavior based on -D options.

 From the same page:

"It would be better for you to remove the patch from gcc where it makes 
-D__KERNEL__ imply -nossp -nopie, and to instead patch the Linux kernel 
build system (Makefiles, etc.) so that it passes "-D__KERNEL__ -nossp 
-nopie" rather than "-D__KERNEL__"."
