Yes, I saw that. The configure method fails directly, it just does *not*
add the ldflag (at least when configure is run by portage).

I also tried to add "-Wl,-z,noexecstack" via append-ldflags, and it is
indeed appended as visible in the compile output, but the exec stacks
are still there and the QA warning comes up, so I guess we can consider
this broken and stick with your solution of patching the asm (which sill
works fine)

Cheers,
Thomas
