Patch to define libssp as part of gcclibs

GCC includes libssp which we have historically linked into our libc(!),

It appears this library is not really needed as it is meant to support
FORTIFY_SOURCE but we never brought any way to link the wrapper functions.

As discussed in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D15687, we should get away by
building along with the other gcclibs only when GCC is built.

Buildworld passes on current, but If you can please try a clean build with this
patch we should confirm if some port is trying to link anything from there.
