>Description:
gcc 4.1 in netbsd -current does not support ssp. the man page says it does, but it's lying. if you try to use -fstack-protector or -fstack-protector-all, it will output errors.

this is a blocker issue for 4.0.
>How-To-Repeat:
gcc -fstack-protector
>Fix:
either use libssp from the gcc 4.1 distribution available under gpl with exception clause for linking (making it suitable for use in userland/kernel), or use the openbsd version available under bsd license and adjust the generation code in our gcc to also include the function name when reporting an error (that's better i think).
