The GNU Linker (`ld`) treats warnings as errors if `--fatal-warnings` is specified.

```console
$ flang src.f90 -Wl,--fatal-warnings
/path/to/ld: warning: src.o: requires executable stack (because the .note.GNU-stack section is executable)
flang-22: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
```
