I don't think so, as I said, the way you compiled your modules was 
incorrect. if gcc gets -D__KERNEL__ no ssp is enabled (independently of 
the chosen hardened/non-hardened compiler), if you build within the normal 
kernel tree, this is set for you, but if you try to build addons, this has 
to be done by the Makefile used.

That's why I asked for your command-line for one of these modules (to 
clarify this) ... it seems too late.
