Package: libopenspc
Version: 0.3.99a-2
Severity: normal

Assembler code does not inherently require an executable stack.  The
majority of assembler code doesn't require it at all, the build system
defaults to marking shared objects containing assembler as needing an
executable stack for compatability.

See the above bug report for an example of how to fix such a problem and
the implications of not fixing it.

If the assembler code does use trampolines or other mechanisms that
genuinely require an executable stack then the details need to be
documented.
