In Debian bug reports I found following post (15/04/2007):
"-fstack-protector works fine with glibc 2.5, or with '-lssp' if ssp 
support is /not/ included in libc. Debian 4.0 is currently broken in 
this way (as of libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13), so it would be nice to have a 
configure test to work around an affected libc."
