The compiled executable still runs of my FreeBSD system. I have
% which ld
/usr/local/bin/ld
% ld --version
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.40
Looking at ld.info, I see a '-z execstack' option.
% gfcx -o z -z execstack y.f90
% ./z
No warning appears. I also find
% gfcx -o z -z noexecstack -save-temps y.f90
% ./z
produces no warning and the compiled executable still run.
I suppose the question then comes down to where does the
.section .note.GNU-stack,"x",@progbits
come from in the z-y.s save-temps file.
