The GNU assembler assumes that assembly code might need an executable
stack unless explicitly told otherwise.  Here's how to tell it:

When I build clisp for Fedora, I use the -Wa,--noexecstack approach to
keep that flag off, but it would be great if the ffcall and clisp
sources could be modified to include the proper .note.GNU-stack when
GNU tools are in use.
