nextclip binary contains writable and executable sections

[mmokrejs]

Hi Richard, I wanted to install nextclip on Gentoo Linux which does some automated tests before installing applications. I complains about the compiled code with the following:

 * QA Notice: The following files contain writable and executable sections
 *  Files with such sections will not work properly (or at all!) on some
 *  architectures/operating systems.  A bug should be filed at
 *  https://bugs.gentoo.org/ to make sure the issue is fixed.
 *  For more information, see:
 * 
 *    https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Hardened/GNU_stack_quickstart
 * 
 *  Please include the following list of files in your report:
 *  Note: Bugs should be filed for the respective maintainers
 *  of the package in question and not [email protected].
 * RWX --- --- usr/bin/nextclip

This is not an official package in Gentoo so no reason to report it there. Anyway, the issue with the C code somewhere making into nextclip.o:

$ scanelf -qeR .
RWX --- ---  ./nextclip-NextClip_v1.3.1/bin/nextclip
--X --- ---  ./nextclip-NextClip_v1.3.1/obj/nextclip.o
$

Thanks for the comment. Not sure what this is, but will investigate.
