Right.  Tony's compilers are built using a (modified version of) buildall,
and buildall goes out of its way to build without libc whatsoever, even
if the configuration (powerpc64-linux, for example) expects one.

Which leads to TARGET_LIBC_PROVIDES_SSP being undefined (it would normally
be true for glibc >= 2.4), and that is all.  Mystery solved.  Thanks!
