This just means that your userspace is broken.
If GLibC cannot do the right thing then it should be fixed.
Let's skip this until you explain how to create a fully
non-executable-stack process. GLIBC people is ready to do something but
after we remove emulation from stack.
You cannot change the default setting for executable stack just
because you have created a broken userspace.
Please give me at least one example, one existing application which
would suffer.
I remember that people already wrote here that this kind of apps (which
is based on eXecutable stack and doesn't announce it in PT_GNU_STACK)
need to be eliminated.
The ability of legacy userspace to continue functioning cannot be
sacrificed.
Not at any price.
However, this switch is a separate patch from others. It can be not
applied or it can be applied, depending from prevailing mind - what is
more significant, some (unknown) app or non-executable stack protection.
