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