Hi Thomas, |
| 12 |
|

Christopher did it. mpir like gmp suffer from executable stacks. |
| 14 |
There are talk on sage-devel which is very close to mpir upstream |
| 15 |
to take a different approach: using an m4 macro and a linker flag |
| 16 |
to remove them -Wl,-z,noexecstack. |
| 17 |
The motivation to fix this is fedora 14 which doesn't allow executable stacks |
| 18 |
by default. |
| 19 |
I think the warning could be removed for now but the ebuild will probably |
| 20 |
need a little TLC in the near future. |
