Greetings! The execstack compatibility/workaround in GCL has been
added in versions 2.6.1 and higher. This is just about to be released
as 2.6.2, but we are hoping to squash one remaining windows only bug
first. You can retrieve 2.6.1 for now by
export CVS_RSH=ssh
export CVSROOT=:ext:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gcl
cvs co -r Version_2_6_1 -d gcl-2.6.1 gcl
Please let me know if this does not work.
Take care,
