Just a word of warning about this patch for unsuspecting travellers. It
appears to be parallel make unfriendly. (GNU Make 3.80)

i.e. running the following command on a dual cpu system results in a
missing `/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.0/include/ssp' directory and
no ssp headers.

  make install -j3

No errors, no nothing. Weird.. It's 100% reproducible here.

Remove the -j3 and all is well. I suppose most folks never run `make
install' in parallel.. but sometimes it's convenient to just simply:

 export MAKEFLAGS=-j3

for big compile jobs.

Regards
Greg
