            Bug ID: 123194
           Summary: Annoying to link libssp statically
           Product: gcc
           Version: 15.2.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: driver
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: ossman at cendio dot se
  Target Milestone: ---

For some targets, specifying -fstack-protector results in a dependency to the
library libssp. This can be very annoying if you want a standalone binary.

Since this library is implicitly added by gcc, you can't deal with it like you
can other libraries. It would be useful if this was easier.

We already have (at least) two other implicit libraries from gcc; libstdc++ and
libgcc. These have flags to tell gcc to link them statically (-static-libstdc++
and -static-libgcc). Something similar would be desired for libssp, or letting
it change implicitly from -static-libgcc.
