+Correct default for Binary::has_nx on ppc64
+
+From the Linux kernel source:
+
+    * This is the default if a program doesn't have a PT_GNU_STACK
+    * program header entry. The PPC64 ELF ABI has a non executable stack
+    * stack by default, so in the absence of a PT_GNU_STACK program header
+    * we turn execute permission off.
+
+This patch can be dropped the next time we update LIEF.
