Hi Nikolay,

Yes, it already exists but only to build libssp.  I've diverted it
because it was more straightforward :), but it would be easy to create a
new knob for this.

Currently, the documentation for WITHOUT_SSP is:
    « Set to not build propolice stack smashing protection library. »

I would change it to:
    « Set to build libraries, programs, kernel, and modules with
    propolice.  GNU libssp will not be built either. »

I will happily submit the documentation if the patch hits the tree.
