Hi,
The attached patch for icedtea6 replaces
patches/gcc-stack-markings.patch with the fix applied upstream [1].
Instead of adding an elf section named .note.GNU-stack, upstream chose
to explicitly indicate to the linker that the stack should be marked as
non-executable. There should be no functional change as a result of
applying this patch (well, unless your linker doesnt support -z
noexecstack ...).
The reason I am applying this is to remove custom patches from icedtea6
and to bring icedtea6 and icedtea7 closer together.
Any thoughts or comments? doko, since you committed the original patch,
do you have any particular concerns?
Cheers,
Omair
