Fedora's OpenSSL build does:

# Add -Wa,--noexecstack here so that libcrypto's assembler modules will
be
# marked as not requiring an executable stack.
RPM_OPT_FLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS -Wa,--noexecstack"

Which implies that the executable stack marking is not in fact needed,
and normally only exists because the assembler has to assume the stack
_might_ be executable.

You should be able to clear the executable stack flag for individual
binaries (the bundled libcrypto, in this case) by running 'execstack -c'
on them.  After which you should be able to turn the selinux boolean
back on.
