qemu: add patch to fix SSP support detection

The QEMU configure script incorrectly assumes SSP is supported by the
toolchain in some cases where the compiler accepts -fstack-protector*
flags but the C library does not provide the necessary __stack_chk_*()
functions.

Even though a full compile and link test is performed by the script,
this is done with a code fragment which does not actually meet any of
the conditions required to cause the compiler to emit canary code when
the -fstack-protector-strong variant is used. As no compile or link
failure occurs in this case, a false positive is generated and a
subsequent error is seen when the probe for pthreads is performed.

The fix consists in patching the configure script to use a more
appropriate test program for the SSP support checks.

Fixes:
