Sorry - what I meant was that the problem is not with the code that implements
the execstack warning, but rather the fact that when CGO_ENABLED=1 is used, the
GO compiler is changing its behaviour and trying to link a dynamic executable
rather than a static one.  

As part of this change different startup files are selected, and in particular
/usr/lib64/Scrt1.o is being linked in, rather than /usr/lib64/crt1.o.  This is
a problem because /usr/lib64/Scrt1.o is marked as requiring an executable stack
and so the warning is triggered.  But - this warning has not caused all the
other linking problems.  It is the fact that the linker is now being asked to
create a dynamic executable from object files that were built for static
linkage that causes the problems.

So the real question is *why* does CGO_ENABLED=1 change the type of executable
that is being created ?
