[PyPy-issue] [issue610] The generated pypy binary is unnecessarily flagged as needing an executable stack

[Dave Malcolm]

Dave Malcolm <dmalcolm at redhat.com> added the comment:

The
  LDFLAGS=--no-exec-stack make pypy
approach doesn't seem to work; I still end up with a binary that requests an executable stack:
  $ eu-readelf -l ./pypy | grep STACK
  GNU_STACK      0x000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x000000 0x000000 RWE 0x8

Simplest solution is probably to postprocess the ELF file with "execstack":
  $ execstack --clear-execstack PATH_TO_ELF_FILE
  $ eu-readelf -l ./pypy | grep STACK
  GNU_STACK      0x000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x000000 0x000000 RW  0x8

(all of this is on a Fedora box, BTW; I believe the relevant tools are within the upstream GNU toolchain though)
