The QRT test was mistakenly expecting that trusty's gcc-4.8 supported -fstack-protector-strong, but it does not; hence the config option for it remains/gets disabled on trusty. This has been fixed in QRT commit https://git.launchpad.net/qa-regression-testing/commit/?id=1261ef7eb84dd5eeafcf4bca6e20ae50422d029a

Thanks!
