Remove -use-gnu-stack from the BOLT flags used to optimize CPython as it incorrectly removes the PT_GNU_STACK segment causing glibc to default to an executable stack, for example when creating a new thread. This can be reverted when llvm/llvm-project#174191 is fixed in LLVM closes astral-sh#956

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Sounds good as a temporary mitigation. Presumably LLVM will have the fix in 22.1.3.
