The full warning message is:

/usr/bin/ld: warning: atomic_ops_sysdeps.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
/usr/bin/ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker

It seems that old versions of GNU ld defaulted to an executable stack,
while newer versions of GNU ld warn about depending on that default.
To suppress the warning, we would pass -z noexecstack to the linker at
the correct places, but I haven't tried it yet.
