Bugzilla Bug 136490

Confirmed in #gentoo, Bug in Ubuntu 49283 also affects Gentoo.  libFLAC has a
set PT_GNU_STACK marking.

Add the following block to the end of each src/libFLAC/ia32/*.nasm

; PT_GNU_STACK so we don't get a +X stack
%ifidn __OUTPUT_FORMAT__,elf
section .note.GNU-stack noalloc noexec nowrite progbits
%endif

Which version are you referring to? The latest version of flac (and afair also
the stable version) applies the patch 120_all_noexecstack that fixes this
already.

Stable is 1.1.2-r3, which has PATCHLEVEL=1 -- and flac-patches-1.tar.bz2
*DOESN'T* contain this patch

1.1.2-r8 and 1.1.3 (both marked ~arch for all arches) use PATCHLEVEL=8 and 10
respectively -- and so *DO* have the patch.

So this is fixed, but the fixed version isn't marked stable yet.

Okay now makes more sense. I still wonder why this was pointed at a bug in
Ubuntu I couldn't care less (as I reported the fix upstream myself) and this
was reported as bug #114984 in Gentoo already, but whatever.

To the reporter, you should usually report _which_ version of a package you're
reporting about, and not report boilerplates problem that are already handled
somehow.

Executable stacks are usually non-critical so they don't require an early
stable, but I suppose that the latest 1.1.2-r8 is now good enough for stable as
it's in the tree since 26th September.
