I've run "build.sh -j 8 -x release" on a four core virtual machine twice.
The build always produced binaries without SSP. But the build system
itself was switched from SSP (kernel and userland) to no SSP (again
kernel and userland):

With SSP:       4155.43s user 10035.32s system 358% cpu 1:06:00.27 total
Without SSP:    4442.54s user 9290.31s system 362% cpu 1:03:06.49 total

The build got slower by 4.8% in my test case.

        Kind regards
