Yeah, I figured out. See below.

Yes, I hope so. It's churning on (slow machine). I hope so:

Very glad that I'm getting useful... Been working hard for years...

Right:

$ git describe fc6850f573063
v4.9.27-unofficial_grsec-1-gfc6850f57306
$

which shows it:

$ diff ~/Downloads/unofficial_grsec-v4.9.27.diff ~/Downloads/unofficial_grsec-v4.9.27-unofficial_grsec-1-gfc6850f57306.diff
153902c153902
< index 000000000000..3c4df767c6cd

153906c153906
< +-unofficial_grsec
---
> +-unofficial+grsec
$

And then:

$ git diff v4.9.27..v4.9.27-unofficial_grsec-1-gfc6850f57306 > \
    ~/Downloads/unofficial_grsec-v4.9.27-unofficial_grsec-1-gfc6850f57306.diff

And that is being built. And then, for my dear Devuaners, then (once it
hopefully all works) I make a tip on dev1galaxy.org. I have been wishing
to teach newbies grsec for years!

My thanks to you, Mathias!

Ah, for everybody who is interested in the KSPP[*] and grsecurity
long standing controversy, here's a must read:

It looks like there will be no more public versions of PaX and Grsec
http://openwall.com/lists/kernel-hardening/2017/05/11/2
(it's the reply by PaX Team :) and it's delicious, has shut some mouths
stiff closed, as I see it; repent, rippers in the shadows, if you can,
you --in your mind and in appearance, but you're small-- big guys... I
don't have it so much with the servants of yours... )

[*] Kernel Self Protection Project, basically, regarded by many as
some kind of a ripoff of grsecurity's code
