Thanks Joshua. Those nested functions are toxic.

Nested functions have the obvious effect breaking tools like Clang.
But worse, you can't use NX-stacks (-Wl,-z,noexecstack). NX-Stacks and
nested functions are mutually exclusive because GCC places a
trampoline on the stack.

The lack of NX-Stacks could be a security defect and could lead to
governance problems.
