We're currently failing the auoptmated security review on snapcraft because the lotus binary has the execstack value set: https://linux.die.net/man/8/execstack This commit passes the appropriate flags to ld to disable the execstack flag when building the binaries for snapcraft: https://linux.die.net/man/1/ld We may want to consider disabling this as part of the main build. Research seems to indicate that allow the executable stack can lead to security issues, but I am not enough of a security expert to know for sure what the right call here is: https://f0rm2l1n.github.io/2022-04-02-What-is-happended-to-execstack/
