+Subject: [PATCH] bin2s: Mark stack as non-executable.
+
+Every object file linked to supermin has to be marked as having a
+non-executable stack.  The object generated by bin2s was not being
+marked this way, thus the final supermin binary ended up as having an
+executable stack (wrongly).
+
+Before this change:
+
+$ execstack -q src/supermin
+X src/supermin
+
+After applying this patch and rebuilding:
+
+$ execstack -q src/supermin
+- src/supermin
