     I tried to build the toolchain from an uptodate pull of the git 
repository,

     I am getting a sequence of errors when the build reach libssp.

     My guess would be that libssp is not needed for the ar9170 firmware.

     Is this correct and I would appreciate an easy suguestion to 
disable it if so.

I assume your host's /bin/sh is not bash.

While you're at it, I'd suggest to bump the versions for the required 
cross-build environment as well, as it noticably improves stability of the 
firmware images built by it (still not perfectly, but better).

ar9170.fw: update cross-toolchain.

Updating the toolchain improves stability of the built firmware images 
significantly.

Not sure if that's still my repository, but

I applied both your patches to it.

ls -al /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-04-02 01:25 sh -> dash

I have bumped into similar problems with buildroot.

Is there a serious downside to linking /bin/sh to bash ?

  Did a git pull and picked up the bashisms and versions update.

If I back off to
dc858db5b191d70362d30f90906d68c1c3c2c972
the bashism fixes I get the same build errors in libssp in my first email.

In an unrelated toolchain build project (buildroot for a ppc405) I get 
libssp errors if I enable SSP.

I am reading the errors is a failure to properly include standard headers.

I am working under ubuntu lucid
gcc --ver as follows:

Using built-in specs.

Alternately maybe I am missing some development dependency that 
configure is not warning about

I have verified before sending the mail yesterday that ar9170.fw still 
builds fine on current Debian unstable (gcc-4.4, but it also worked on 
4.4.2, 4.4.3 before; confirmed in a minimal build chroot (pbuilder) 
environment), so you're likely just missing build dependencies.

# apt-get install build-essential
# apt-get build-dep gcc-4.4 binutils newlib

While this pulls a little more than you'd absolutely need, it still makes
sure that all eventual build dependencies are covered.
