Massive update broke Samba

Question

I recently ran pacman -Syu on my Arch server box which I have been neglecting to do for about 4 months now, and unfortunately, this seems to have broken Samba.
The old version - which was 3.5.2 - started perfectly fine, and after updating it to 3.6.1 it now spews out these errors:
sudo /etc/rc.d/samba restart
Stopping Samba Server [DONE]
Starting Samba Server [BUSY]
/usr/bin/smbd: error while loading shared libraries: libssp.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/nmbd: /usr/lib/libtdb.so.1: no version information available (required by /usr/sbin/nmbd)
/usr/bin/nmbd: /usr/lib/libtdb.so.1: no version information available (required by /usr/sbin/nmbd)
/usr/bin/nmbd: /usr/lib/libtalloc.so.2: no version information available (required by /usr/sbin/nmbd)
[FAIL]
This must be a once in a lifetime issue because I have done extensive googling and I can find nothing on this. I've read that libssp.so.0 is supposed to come with either gcc or gcc-libs, but I have both installed and up to date, and even after reinstalling both I don't seem to have this file. It isn't even displayed on the packages' file lists in the repository.
As much as I would love to right now, I cannot downgrade back to 3.5.2 because it requires heimdal which was replaced by krb5, and I was stuck in a dependency-loop trying to install krb5 before I ran the update so there's probably no way I can go back without encountering the same problem.
I did try finding a download for this mythical libssp.so.0 but none seemed to exist.
Anyone got a solution?

I have a similar issue, but with cups daemon and I haven't tried massive update.
cupsd: error while loading shared libraries: libssp.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
gcc-libs 4.6.1-3 version package has libssp.so.0, but gcc-libs 4.6.1-4 does not have libssp at all.
I have both cups and gcc-libs up to date.
