The topic/ssp branch now contains patchset v2, and I'm considering a few
more minor changes which shouldn't take long.

I think the gcc change will need to be conditional on the presence of
$target_header_dir/ssp/ssp.h, in order to continue to support older
Newlib/Cygwin/RTEMS releases.  If so, then this will have to go in
first, then I submit the change to GCC and get it pulled into supported
stable branches.  Toolchain builders will need to configure with
--disable-libssp permanently (like on other targets with their own
implementation) and carry a small patch until releases are available.
