Hi, SSP is a compiler security mitigation. In C are some functions which are more prone to buffer overflows, and while there are better functions to use, they still exist in a lot of code (and are easier to use). I think the compiler inserts fake values to the end of buffers and checks if it has been modified, and so it can terminate the program if an overflow had happened (as opposed to possibly allowing code execution). netbsd did not want to supply libssp, an independent library from GCC, and so provides the same in libc. GCC had to be taught not to build libssp on netbsd, but didn't in the past. The problem you have is likely an older gcc48/49 package that does not contain the fixes not to think netbsd built with -lssp and -lssp_nonshared. Others have fixed some more changes.
