wireless - Error while compiling bcmwl-kernel-source

Recently, the WiFi on option on my Ubuntu 16.04 disappeared. I figured that bcmwl-kernel-source needed to be updated so what I basically did was:

sudo apt-get upgrade

When the upgrade reached bcmwl-kernel-source, I ended up with the following error:

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.4.0-131-generic (x86_64)

Consult /var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/6.30.223.271+bdcom/build/make.log for more information.
modprobe: FATAL: Module wl not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.0-131-generic
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)

So I checked the log file and here is what it showed:

Log file of compilation

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance :)

Here is some information regarding the WiFi card:

Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01)
DeviceName: Broadcom BCM43142 802.11bgn 1x1 WiFi Adapter + BT 4.0 combo adapter

Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [103c:2230]

The build error suggests you are using gcc <= 4.8:

gcc: error: unrecognized command line option `-fstack-protector-strong`

The -fstack-protector-strong option was only introduced with gcc version 4.9.

By installing a more recent gcc version, and configuring it as your default gcc (as described here for example), you should be able to build successfully.
