It looks like libssp has been statically linked into libpurple.dll, which
is subsequently causing confusion when trying to link libgg.

You're using an old version of gcc - it's possible that version does static
linking of libssp by default - newer versions do not appear to (and the
released build, which is made with gcc 4.7.2, links to libssp dynamically).
