.Sfiles have no.note.GNU-stacksection, so on x86-64 GNU ld gives every binary or shared library that links librandomx an executable stack unless-z noexecstackis passed: binutils >= 2.39 warns at link time, and on glibc >= 2.41dlopen()oflibrandomx.sofails ("cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires"). This adds the same empty note the compiler emits for every C/C++ object, guarded by__ELF__since the files are also assembled for Mach-O and COFF.
