+- Patch #1560695: Add .note.GNU-stack to ctypes' sysv.S so that
+  ctypes isn't considered as requiring executable stacks.
+
 - ctypes callback functions only support 'fundamental' data types as
   result type.  Raise an error when something else is used.  This is a
   partial fix for Bug #1574584.
