ld : ppc-amigaos/bin/ld: warning: main.o: requires executable stack (because the .note.GNU-stack section is executable)

[kas1e]

This is a new warning message introduced by GNU bin-utils version 2.39.

If we build anything with -Wa,--execstack (like, the E-UAE for example), then we will have such warning. That what developers says about:

The ELF linker will now generate a warning message if the stack is made executable. Similarly it will warn if the output binary contains a segment with all three of the read, write and execute permission bits set. These warnings are intended to help developers identify programs which might be vulnerable to attack via these executable memory regions.

So, or you remove -Wa,--execstack , or you have this warning. Binary will continue to works as expected, just, will have security flaw.

This one were created just for future reference, so we close it to keep in database
