Comment (by sqrt2):

 I'd say if something as simple as

 {{{
 cat > ssptest.c << EOF
 #include <stdio.h>
 main() { puts("") }
 EOF
 gcc -o ssptest -fstack-protector ssptest.c
 }}}

 fails, then it's probably a missing libssp on a system without libc stack
 protection support.

 If --enable-gcc-hardening is specified, a test like that is probably good
 enough to error and suggest to the user to check for SSP support, or
 --disable-gcc-hardening.
