/usr/bin/xetex has executable stack

Hi,

Running a test across the distribution and it looks like a new program has 
popped up that needs an executable stack:

[root ~]# /usr/bin/eu-readelf -l /usr/bin/xetex | grep STACK
  GNU_STACK      0x000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x000000 
0x000000 RWE 0x8


Does this app really need its stack to be executable? This could be a security 
risk.

-Steve
