      At least some AArch64 environments (e.g. those using ld.gold) seem to default to executable stacks. This results in specifies_noexecstack returning true for binaries that do not have an explicit GNU_STACK header, but nonetheless have executable stacks. This can cause hotspot/jtreg/runtime/execstack/TestCheckJDK.java to pass even when it should fail.
