Explanation by Matthias Schwarzott:
The linker will request an executable stack as soon as at least one
object file, that is linked in, wants an executable stack.
And the absence of the
.section .note.GNU-stack."",@progbits
is enough to tell the linker that an executable stack is needed.
So even an empty asm-file must at least contain this statement to not
force executable stacks on the whole executable.
* Define a helper macro MARK_STACK_NO_EXEC that disables the
executable stack.
* Instantiate this macro unconditionally at the end of each asm file.
