Change in the v8 patch:
1. __stack_chk_guard must be an uintptr_t variable.
2. Remove c_stack_protect_guard_decl_p and

Thanks.

Should this change be conditional on

Why "internal"? I read "internal" as internal linkage, i.e. "static",
and in the testcases the symbols all have external linkage, and it's
based on TARGET_SSP_GLOBAL_GUARD.
Maybe the macro should be something like
__stack_protection_guard_declared__?
Changed.
Actually, do we need the macro at all? How will user code differ based
on whether it's defined? The existing ssp-global.c suggests that people
could already define __stack_chk_guard before this patch.
