That's because beecrypt's configure didn't correctly detect that
--noexecstack and/or -Wa,--noexecstack are not valid options for
the Solaris assembler.

I reported that issue in the beecrypt tracker, see:

  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1486951&group_id=8924&atid=208924

(My sourceforge login is "enchanter").  To fix, just remove

	-Wa,--noexecstack

from all the Makefiles that it occurs in.
