The following commit message seems to answer my question:

commit 3e8fc7d9f21329d5a98ec3cf6de138bce9bc2c05
Author: Yaakov Selkowitz <yselkowi@redhat.com>
Date:   Mon Nov 27 23:07:10 2017 -0600

     ssp: add Object Size Checking common code

[...]

     Note that this does require building gcc with --disable-libssp and
     gcc_cv_libc_provides_ssp=yes.


Are there plans to coordinate the release of Cygwin 2.10.0 with a new 
gcc release?  In the meantime, I guess package maintainers have to build 
with -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE in order to test building with Cygwin 2.10.0.  Or 
am I missing something?
