Thank you, Scott, for sharing the solution with us.

According to the man page for ld, that option "Marks the object as
requiring executable stack."

I don't know much about jit compilers, so I can't comment on the GNU
development environment not complaining about it. I do know that if
there is something we don't like about it, we can get double our money
back. :-)
