You cannot have noexec set on /tmp if you want to run =E2=80=9Cmake install=
world=E2=80=9D!

You could make a separate partition/dataset for /var/tmp and mount that as
noexec/nosuid.

If you *really* want to harden your server, you should probably increase
the kern.securelevel sysctl. See security(7).
