Although I may be wrong, AFAIK SSP works nice with almost anything except libstdc++, also packages which need it to be disabled (ie thunderbird) usually do it without a problem of after pattching a bit the ebuild. Anyway, I think the best one to answer is Zorry or Xake as they maintain it.

Anyway, at least on the overlay uclibc is still not supported :( http://github.com/Xake/toolchain-overlay/blob/54581c25b74be5a5dc3d8c1de61dba55db7c639f/README
