NetBSD has SSP included in libc:

gcc/configure does not know about this. The attached patch (against
SVN checkout from today) fixes this.
I've previously reported this as
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=68380 but was told that
patches should be sent here.
Thanks.
If I understand the history SSP first appeared in NetBSD 4.0, so this code
really ought to be conditional on NetBSD 4.0 or newer to be strictly
correct.
Unfortunately we don't have much interaction with NetBSD anymore -- so we
have no clue if supporting building on anything before NetBSD 4.0 is even
reasonable or feasible anymore.
The only supported release branches are NetBSD-6.x and NetBSD-7.x.
NetBSD-4.x was desupported when NetBSD 6.x came out, in 2012:

OK. Based on the above information I went ahead and committed your
change. Strictly speaking it's not a regression, but I think it's
localized & safe enough that it can go in even at this stage in our
development/release process.
Thanks,
Jeff
