libssp is useful only on targets that don't have the necessary support
already in libc.  glibc (at least not prehistoric versions) do
support -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for far more functions than libssp)
as well as (more efficient) -fstack-protector,
so the only two reasons for using standalone libssp are gone.
