[PATCH] Pass -Wl, --no-error-execstack for tests where -Wl, -z, execstack is used [PR32717]

Sam James sam@gentoo.org

When GNU Binutils is configured with --enable-error-execstack=yes, a handful
of our tests which rely on -Wl,-z,execstack fail. Pass --Wl,--no-error-execstack
to override the behaviour and get a warning instead.

Bug: https://sourceware.org/PR32717

Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
