Hi,

to use the Stack Smashing Protector the frame needs to grow downwards.
Attached patch accomplishes that for the Cell B.E. SPU architecture.

Tested against regression suite without any difference in pass/fail
statistics (except the extra test passes for SSP)..

OK for mainline?
(See attached file: spu.patch)
Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Kind regards
