            Bug ID: 123257
           Summary: libssp no longer needed with modern mingw
           Product: gcc
           Version: 15.2.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: driver
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org

  Target Milestone: ---

MinGW 11 and later includes their own implementation of the stack protector
functions:

That means that linking with libssp is no longer needed for that platform.
Which can mitigate issues like PR123194.
