These routines do not require executable stacks. However, by default ELFish
linkers may assume an executable stack on GNUish environments (and some non-GNU
ones too!). The GNU extension to add a note to indicate a non-executable stack
is honoured by these environments to mark the stack as non-executable (the
compiler normally emits this directive on appropriate targets whenever
possible). This allows normal builds from getting executable stacks due to
linking to the compiler rt builtins.

Since these are primarily useful for deeply embedded targets where code size is
very important, they are each in a separate file making use of infrastructure
in sync-ops.h. This allows a linker to include just the functions that are
actually used.
