Ruud van Asseldonk 8b6a9202e7 libressl: build libcrypto with noexecstack
For some reasons, libcrypto would be built with the executable stack
flag set. I found out about this when Nginx failed to load the shared
library, because I was running it with MemoryDenyWriteExecute=true,
which does not permit executable stacks.

I am not sure why the stack ends up executable; the other shared
libraries which are part of LibreSSL do not have this flag set. You can
verify this with 'execstack -q'. Non-executable stacks should be the
default, and from checking some other files, that does appear to be the
case. The LibreSSL sources do not contain the string "execstack", so
I am not sure what causes the default to be overridden.

Adding '-z noexecstack' to the linker flags makes the linker unset the
flag. Now my Nginx can load the library, and so far I have not run into
other issues.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-19.03 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-19.03

For pull requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
