Window Gitian Build works, but binaries fail to run on Windows #4478

This might be related to #4473.

Now it builds but when I install on a Windows 64 target, I get the following error when I open bitcoin-qt
```
The program can't start because libssp-0.dll is missing from your computer
```

libssp-0.dll Is used for GCCs stack smashing protection. Not sure how that relates to the mentioned pull.

One of the recent build system changes must have broken static building for Windows (maybe -static is no longer passed? I remember some earlier fight with the build system getting this to work, it had to do with ordering of libs in my case). @theuni can you take a look at this?

@Diapolo I am not 100% sure it related to that pull, I don't want to go through the tourcher of a git bisect again, but I was just assuming it was related to the pull that did break gitian for windows building.

@laanwj yes, will have a look.

And yes, I've had my head down recently reworking the deps building process so that pull-tester and gitian can share the same build process. That should help avoid these problems.

FYI reverting b150b09e and 5566826 made the resulting Windows executables work again, so it must be one of those (maybe libtool issue?).

Yea, that'll be libtool. Building with Gitian now.

@theuni the dark arts of compiling.

Ok, spotted the problem, working on the cleanest fix.
