GCC 4.8 already defaults to -fstack-protector, but you do need to
recompile to get -fstack-protector-all and you're right that you would
need to recompile again to make it go away. The full SSP is considered
safe though, and only slows things down a bit.

For PaX, the markings may exist on your filesystem, but if you switch to
a non-hardened kernel they cease to have any effect. Grsec just goes away.
