[Description Robert Marmorstein 2006-04-27 23:46:05 UTC]

QA Notice: the following files contain executable stacks
 Files with executable stacks will not work properly (or at all!)
 on some architectures/operating systems.  A bug should be filed

I will attach a patch that fixes this issue.

Created attachment 85642 [details, diff]
Fixes executable stack problem

Added .note.GNU-stack stuff to a couple .S files.

[Comment 2 solar (RETIRED) 2006-04-28 04:38:30 UTC]

PT_GNU_STACK markings do not effect hardened (effects vanilla users only). 
We/hardened use PT_PAX_FLAGS for markings and do not suffer from these
mismarked executables.

Reassigning bug to maintaining herd.

Thanks for your patch, applied now without revbump.
