Log:
  libssp: don't compile with -fstack-protector*
  
  This similarly matches what we do in libc; compiling libssp with
  -fstack-protector* is actively harmful.  For instance, if the canary ctor
  ends up with a stack protector then it will trivially trigger a false
  positive as the canary's being initialized.
  
  This was noted by the reporter as irc/ircd-hybrid started crashing at start
  after our libssp was MFC'd to stable/11, as its build will explicitly link
  in libssp. On FreeBSD, this isn't necessary as SSP bits are included in
  libc, but it should absolutely not trigger runtime breakage -- it does mean
  that the canary will get initialized twice, but as this is happening early
  on in application startup it should just be redundant work.
