glibc/scripts/check-execstack.awk

# This awk script expects to get command-line files that are each
# the output of 'readelf -l' on a single shared object.
# But the first file should contain just "execstack-no" or "execstack-yes",
# indicating what the default is in the absence of PT_GNU_STACK.
# It exits successfully (0) if none indicated executable stack.
# It fails (1) if any did indicate executable stack.
# It fails (2) if the input did not take the expected form.
