Executable stack is a potential security issue as explained in

http://people.redhat.com/drepper/selinux-mem.html

There is a SELinux boolean to disable that protection if you are sure
about that.  Check your status via

$ getsebool -a | grep stack

allow_execstack --> on
allow_java_execstack --> off
allow_mplayer_execstack --> off
