What's a cheap but permanent way to attach one of those flimsy steel no
trespassing signs on a solid concrete outside stucco retaining wall?

Don't.
Stick a steel sign-post in the ground instead.

"Permanent" might not be the way to go if you later change your mind
about it being there- or the sign deteriorates and needs to be replaced.

I was thinking glue, too. Maybe hot melt as if sign deteriorates a heat
gun should take it off without any damage to the stucco.

Glue may not be the way to go as permanent isn't always permanent. Two
anchors or blue screws (Tapcons) might be an easier fix when you want to
remove it. Glue may be smeared all over, actually under, the sign and
my not be easy to remove. Holes are easy to fill and spot paint.

Agreed, that way you won't get rust streaks down the stucco.

A plastic sign might be a better idea if he's going to attach it to the
stucco with adhesive.

Perhaps attach a strip of wood, glue rare earth magnet (s) to the
wood?

It doesn't have to be complicated.

It is hard to beat TapCon screws for something like this. They are
real slow to rust and the holes are pretty small and easy to cover if
you change your mind.

Correct. Stucco -- likely thin on retaining wall, just anchor in the
block.

I agree Tapcons. You might be able to get in aluminum or plastic to prevent
rust.

Maybe polyurethane caulk. Use something that stays flexible, and use a
few small diameter, thick blobs of it so there is enough flexibility to
take the movement as the sign expands and contracts with sun exposure.
