It is not clear why the warning was forced on all architectures. We have the
following
code in ld/configure.tgt:
# By default the linker will generate warnings if it is creating an
# executable stack or a segment with all three of read, write and
# execute permissions. These settings are not appropriate for all
# targets however, so we can change them here:
if test "${ac_default_ld_warn_rwx_segments}" = unset; then
case "${targ}" in
# The CRIS and V850 default linker scripts yields just one segment
# as intended, so a rwx segment warning is not helpful.
# The HPPA's and SPARC's PLT sections use a constructed trampoline
# hence it needs to have a RWX segment.
# Many MIPS targets use executable segments.
