Are you saying about the below?

As far as I read each gcc's source code, ppu-gcc (and the original gcc)
never generates the section on 64bit target, but Fedora's gcc always
generates the section on 64bit target with the default attributes (i.e.
.section .note.GNU-stack,"", at progbits). Both always output the section
on 32bit target with appropriate attributes.
