This behavior has been observed with libtool version 2.2.6.

Bug confirmed.  When code is compiled with -fstack-protector{,-all},
GCC "emits extra code to check for buffer overflows, such as stack
smashing attacks".  This extra code uses symbols from libssp, and
therefore (at least) Cygwin's GCC specs contain:

*link_ssp:
%{fstack-protector|fstack-protector-all:-lssp_nonshared -lssp}

Therefore, when libtool fails to pass -fstack-protector{,-all} at link
stage, the link fails.

Patch attached.  (Yes, I have a copyright assignment on file.)

I've done some limited testing of this patch on a SunOS distro with pkgsrc, and it certainly helps a number of cases since it is gcc that generates the necessary '-lssp_nonshared -lssp' libs for linking (at least in absence of '-nostdlib').

Please include in the upcoming version.
