 MPIR builds libraries that have the "executable stack" flag. This breaks
 in Fedora 14 which tightened SELinux rules to disallow executable stack
 libraries by default.

 Note that the MPIR libraries do not need executable stack permissions, the
 flag is set erroneously. Probably because gcc can't figure it out
 automatically for assembler code.

 Updated spkg is here:

 The only change is that the spkg-install now tests whether the `execstack`
 utility is installed and then uses it to clear the flag after the make
 step.
