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

Changed.

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.
