Better dietlibc support in Ubuntu

Registered by Luca Falavigna

dietlibc source package is compiled without stack protector flag to fix a FTBFS since 0.30-1ubuntu2 in Edgy. This generated some issues on several packages, which suffer segfaults or do not even compile. Hardy should fix dietlibc implementation and make packages depending on it usable again.

Also, lpia port is not implemented yet. It should be useful to provide it to compile packages for this port too.
