We require both nxstack != 0 and sv_shared_obj != NULL before we honor PT_GNU_STACK. So you'd have to have an arch that was using the shared page but insisted on not using the copy of the sigcode stored in the shared page and then 2) honors VM_PROT_EXECUTE. This seems unlikely to be something we'd do in the future. -- John Baldwin
