musl: no SSP on i386 and PowerPC
Due to what appears a bug in gcc according to the musl developers, but that the gcc developers don't want to fix, SSP support currently don't work on i386 and PowerPC with musl. Additional details can be found at: http://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2016/12/04/2 OpenWRT and Alpine Linux both have musl and gcc patches to work around the issue, but in the context of Buildroot, we at this point don't care enough about SSP support specifically with musl on those architectures to carry additional patches. Currently, having SSP enabled with musl/i386 causes a number of build failures in the autobuilders: cups, ipmiutil, openssh, ruby, stunnel, sudo and mosh at least all fail to build because of this. So we simply disable SSP support in the toolchain when musl is used on i386 and PowerPC. The PowerPC case is not tested in the autobuilders, but has been reproduced locally and is also fixed by this patch. Fixes: mosh http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/60aa12f1aed08e3b7a98f9ce7091bee3a44d692c/ ipmi-util http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/fb9a071b8739527f424cfe2886ec480f438f70ab/ cups http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/486dea944d6ecba5c4e6e8ac664261c1909f4b4c/ openssh http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/742a8bf4726de6e9ba6926e3fb6019a434454e48/ sudo http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/682531f368c4e982cafe9e625dd41f6d8c7f93f9/ ruby http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/dac660f96c7f85e933a6b82cf61edd429eeae9aa/ stunnel http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/cee52505f1ac2da2f5ba86c9ebfd1f5cd9e301be/ Thanks to Yann E. Morin for suggesting to simply disable SSP support rather than trying to fix it.
