I am also having this problem.  I would appreciate it if you could be
more precise.  Do you mean rebuild the host (cross) compiler, or the
target system compiler?  I'm guessing target.

I think this should be in UPDATING, although really this is a more
subtle issue of "build.sh -u", rather than the system update.  It
seems there is a missing dependency of the target gcc on ssp files.
