Note that this should only be necessary on Fedora Core 4. On
my Fedora Core 3 system gcl automatically detects and sets
the appropriate compatibility option. I do not need to set
this option globally.

On Fedora Core 4,

echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield

is required before building from CVS or running the pre-
installed binary.

Newer versions of gcl (not yet in the Axiom CVS) will also
detect Fedora Core 4 properly.

As an interim measure, I think the FC4 pre-installed binary
should set the global option in the 'axiom' script.
