I see this happen with libraries that do not depend on any symbols in
libc. Check pretty much any ocaml-* package, for example, and rpmlint
will report this. If your library functions as expected, then ignore
this message.

This means that the toolchain thinks your library needs an executable
stack. That usually happens because the project includes assembly
language files, and those files do not contain the magic to tell the
toolchain that the stack does not need to be executable. Try adding
-Wa,--noexecstack to the build flags or -Wl,-z,noexecstack to the
linker flags.
Thanks, indeed the project itself sets those flags in a cmake module
for
both the build and linker flags. I originally avoided to have the
project set custom flags because it also sets -fPIE and that caused
build failures.
But after having removed only the -fPIE from the custom flags, I get the
same errors from rpmlint.
