[Bug other/25035] [4.1/4.2 regression] libssp causes a failure with cross compilers with unified trees

Dear Eric,

thanks for the patch, I already knew that one from here:
http://winavr.cvs.sourceforge.net/winavr/patches/gcc/4.2.2/21-gcc-4.2.2-disable-libssp.patch?view=markup

I just wanted to point out that I assumed from the previous communications that
this bug was well known and understood, that libssp was not needed for the AVR
platform and that I was puzzled why libssp was still enabled for avr.

After messing around with gcc 4.2.3 for a while (and discovering that even old
platforms like atmega2560 are unsupported) I reverted to 4.2.2 for which tons
of patches are available. I have no idea why these patches were not merged into
the 4.2.3 tree before its release ... some of them are many months old. If
anyone sends me a list of patched which already have made it into 4.2.3, I'd
offer volunteer help porting the remaing patches to 4.2.3

Sorry for my ramblings, but this whole winavr thing reminds me of the egcs
story :-(
