Well, I've been able to fix the problem on ARM by explicitly telling
gcc-initial that the libc *will* have SSP support. However, it doesn't
work on x86 because SSP requires TLS support, which isn't provided by
gcc-initial. I am not yet sure how to fix this (enable threads in
gcc-initial, if it is even possible? switch to a three stages build
when SSP is enabled?).

I'll continue experimenting around with this.

Best regards,

Thomas
