+dnl
+dnl Useful macros for autoconf to check for ssp-patched gcc
+dnl 1.0 - September 2003 - Tiago Sousa <mirage@kaotik.org>
+dnl 1.1 - August 2006 - Ted Percival <ted@midg3t.net>
+dnl     * Stricter language checking (C or C++)
+dnl     * Adds GCC_STACK_PROTECT_LIB to add -lssp to LDFLAGS as necessary
+dnl     * Caches all results
+dnl     * Uses macros to ensure correct ouput in quiet/silent mode

+dnl About ssp:
+dnl GCC extension for protecting applications from stack-smashing attacks
+dnl http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/
+dnl
+dnl Usage:
+dnl Call GCC_STACK_PROTECT_LIB to determine if the library implementing SSP is
+dnl available, then the appropriate C or C++ language's test. If you are using
+dnl both C and C++ you will need to use AC_LANG_PUSH and AC_LANG_POP to ensure
+dnl the right language is being used for each test.
+dnl
+dnl GCC_STACK_PROTECT_LIB
+dnl adds libssp to the LDFLAGS if it is available
+dnl
+dnl GCC_STACK_PROTECT_CC
+dnl checks -fstack-protector with the C compiler, if it exists then updates
+dnl CFLAGS and defines ENABLE_SSP_CC
+dnl
+dnl GCC_STACK_PROTECT_CXX
+dnl checks -fstack-protector with the C++ compiler, if it exists then updates
+dnl CXXFLAGS and defines ENABLE_SSP_CXX
