That'd work, except that then be dependant on the patch continuing to work
during every gcc upgrade.

One possible solution would be to have a gcc-ssp port which would build a
SSP version of the base system's compiler, and call it gcc-ssp or
something.  Then we could make certain ports depend on using it, perhaps.

The _real_ solution is for the gcc guys to integrate it into gcc 3.3, but
I'm not sure how that could be made to happen.
