The Object Size Checking (-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=*) functionality provides wrappers around functions suspectible to buffer overflows. While independent from Stack Smashing Protection (-fstack-protector*), they are often used and implemented together. While GCC also provides an implementation in libssp, it is completely broken (CVE-2016-4973, RHBZ#1324759) and seemingly unfixable, as there is no reliable way for a preprocessor macro to trigger a link flag. Therefore, adding this here is necessary to make it work. Note that this does require building gcc with --disable-libssp and gcc_cv_libc_provides_ssp=yes.
