Indeed, support for -fstack-protector-strong was added after clang 3.4.
Upstream is in the process of releasing clang 3.5; they're currently at
-rc3, and unless something weird happens, the actual release should be
soonish.

That said, it might take a while to get this version into the base
system, because there are some problems to overcome.  The major one
being, after 3.4 llvm and clang require a C++11-compatible compiler and
standard library to build. :-)

If there is a great demand for -fstack-protector-strong support, I can
see if it can be backported to our 3.4 version.
