On the other side almost no apps really needs stack to be executable and having it is a security issue in most cases.
Returning to the problem itself, do really many loaders does not support PT_GNU_STACK ? It seems to be old enough feature (I can see mails of 2007 year in main archive of the binutils at sourceware.org).
