Non-Executable Stack Patch

[Niels Heinen]

Unfortunately I never got further then creating a port of gcc 3.2.3 that 
includes the patch (I believe this
was suggested on the list a few weeks ago).

Its available here: http://www.heinen.ws/freebsd/

Just fetch the tgz file, unpack it in /usr/ports/lang/ and do a make
