We don't care for permission of ELF segments, but GNU ld (BFD)
does and now with binutils 2.39+, it reports:

  ld: warning: defaultenv/defaultenv-2-menu.bbenv.o: missing
  .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack

  ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future
  version of the linker

Instead of touching all assembly objects and scripts creating them to
add the section, just set -z noexecstack at link-time. This is already
the LLVM linker (lld) default.
