Subject: * configure.ac (ASM_MARK_NOEXEC_STACK): Check if the C compiler
X-Git-Tag: nettle_1.14_release_20051205~165
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9ef0694cf0b06c148d3dcba315f2b94a1865a1dd;p=thirdparty%2Fnettle.git

* configure.ac (ASM_MARK_NOEXEC_STACK): Check if the C compiler
generates a .note.GNU-stack section. If so, we should do the same
in our assembler files.
