An rpminspect test in Fedora/RHEL is flagging our stub files as having an
ac3a84
executable stack. The check is correct:
ac3a84
ac3a84
$ readelf --wide --program-headers build/src/boot/efi/linuxx64.elf.stub | rg -i stack
ac3a84
  GNU_STACK      0x000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x000000 0x000000 RWE 0x10

It seems to be just an omission in the linker script… None of the objects that
ac3a84
are linked into the stub are marked as requiring an executable stack:
ac3a84
ac3a84
$ readelf --wide --sections build/src/boot/efi/*.c.o \
ac3a84
  /usr/lib/gnuefi/x64/libgnuefi.a \
ac3a84
  /usr/lib/gnuefi/x64/libefi.a \
ac3a84
  /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/12/libgcc.a \
ac3a84
  | rg '.note.GNU-stack.*X'
ac3a84
(nothing)

On aarch64 we end up with a nonexecutable stack, but on ia32 and x64 we get one,
ac3a84
so this might be just a matter of defaults in the linker. It doesn't matter
ac3a84
greatly, but let's mark the stack as non-executable to avoid the warning.

Note: '-Wl,-z' is not needed, things work with just '-z'.

RHEL-only

for now, as the patch is not yet in upstream
