Comment (by sqrt2):

 It appears what gcc does is to look for a define TARGET_LIBC_PROVIDES_SSP,
 and if it's not there, add -lssp -lssp_nonshared to the linker flags if
 -fstack-protector{,-all,-strong} is specified
 (<http://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=blob;f=gcc/gcc.c;hb=HEAD#l682>).

 The tests for TARGET_LIBC_PROVIDES_SSP are here:
