Hi,
libffi on FreeBSD uses assembler source src/x86/freebsd.S which lacks
.note.GNU-stack section. As result, libffi shared library and any code
that links with libffi statically ends up with executable stack.

Patch below fixes the issue. Please apply.

    On FreeBSD, mark the assembler source as not requiring executable stack.
