Comment:

 I do also get `/usr/bin/ld: warning: -z noexecheap ignored.` quite a bit.

 I think it's because it simply doesn't exist on my system. I can't find
 that `noexecheap` in the man page ld.1. According to
 https://www.owasp.org/index.php/C-Based_Toolchain_Hardening#GCC.2FBinutils,
 it was added in binutils 2.14 but I'm on 2.28... I've looked through the
 source code of binutils package and I can't find that `noexecheap` string
 so it might have been removed?...

 Maybe `TOR_CHECK_LDFLAGS()` doesn't fully detect the "ignored parameter"
 because it's not an "error"? dunno
