The -allow_execute_stack flag wasn't being accepted by the linker, at 
least in the way the compiler was inserting it into the link (from 
-fnested-functions).   I did try the GCC 4.2 branch for LLVM and that 
didn't have that problem.

Btw, getting a LLVM compiler working would be a really neat trick 
because then we'd have link time optimization (LTO).   I've seen 100% 
speed-ups on some codes using LTO.  There's also a branch for LTO on the 
main GCC trunk without LLVM, but it's not currently usable.  LLVM also 
means we'd have a byte code representation of models (e.g. like pure 
Java).
