 I'm not sure.  This appears to be controlled by "USE_SSP".  I do not
 define or set this in my "mk.conf" file.  The manual asserts the default
 value is "no".  The variable (or even the very string) does not appear
 anywhere in "/usr/pkgsrc/mk/*".
 
 In my netbsd-5 source tree, "share/mk/bsd.sys.mk" (and therefore also
 "/usr/share/mk/bsd.sys.mk") contains "USE_SSP?=yes" which would appear
 to contradict the "mk.conf(5)" manual.
 
 IIUC this means my release builds use SSP for kernel/userland (except
 INSTALL_FLOPPY kernel).  Unless the pkgsrc framework includes "bsd.sys.mk",
 they do as they please, it seems.
 
 
 I should note that gcc46 built fine from pkgsrc-2013Q4 branch on my
 netbsd-5/i386 hosts.  Its present failure would seem to indicate a
 change in the package or infrastructure in the interrim.
