arm binaries have an executable stack

Test T703 is currently failing on on armhf/linux. The test result shows:

GNU_STACK  0x000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000 0x00000 RWE 0

Arm compiles via LLVM, but x86_64 executbles compiled via LLVM do not have an executable stack.

The other difference between the x86_64 and Arm is the Arm uses ld.gold as the linker. Sure enough, adding -optl -Wl,-z,noexecstack to the ghc command line fixes this, but a better solution is needed.

This is probably also an issue on AArch64 which also uses the ld.gold linker.
