Thanks for the input! The LLVM mail is very useful.

musl links and completes the build successfully with
-fno-stack-protector. I was hesitant to even try that because (IIUC) a
libc port with the stack protector disabled definitely wouldn't fly. A
cursory grep suggests that we only build four ports with
-fno-stack-protector.

It is. For ports, we use it whenever possible, switching to the Clang or
GCC 4.9 port when something build no longer works with the base
compiler.
