Re: 2nd Linux kernel patch to remove stack exec

Objective C uses trampolines, also.  GNU libc 2.0 uses trampolines ...

The next version won't. I've sent Ulrich a patch which makes the Linux part
of glibc trampoline-free (there were rather fewer than I expected). Since no
one uses ObjC, that should make a non-executable stack possible.

Well, we certainly use Objective-C and all of the GNUstep project uses
Objective C.

Cheers,
Miguel.
