Actually it's not trivial...

There is already an attempt to avoid the stack protector in
qga/vss-win32/Makefile.objs:

$(obj-qga-vss-dll-obj-y): QEMU_CXXFLAGS = $(filter-out -Wstrict-prototypes \
    -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wold-style-declaration \
    -Wold-style-definition -Wredundant-decls -fstack-protector-all, \
    $(QEMU_CFLAGS)) -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wno-delete-non-virtual-dtor

Perhaps you're using -fstack-protector-strong, and so the above line
should use "-fstack-protector%"?

Instead, if using the stack protector is fine, -fstack-protector-all
should not be filtered out in the above line.

In that case, I agree with Stefan that using -f is cleaner than -lssp,
but it's even cleaner to make the flags match (i.e. it's unclean to
have -fstack-protector-strong in the CFLAGS and -fstack-protector-all
in the LDFLAGS).  So I'd do something like this to get the right flag:

and then use it in qga/vss-win32/Makefile.objs.
