By adding following objects:
bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o
the x86_64 perf binary ended up with executable stack.
The reason was that above object are assembler sourced and is missing the
GNU-stack note section. In such case the linker assumes that the final binary
should not be restricted at all and mark the stack as RWX.
Adding section ".note.GNU-stack" definition to mentioned object, with all
flags disabled, thus omiting this object from linker stack flags decision.
