execstack bit for lisp compilers ecl, gcl and sbcl

I noticed that that sbcl binary was installed with the execstack
bit on, while ecl and gcl had execstack off. Sbcl worked with
both selinux enabled and disabled, gcl and ecl only with selinux
disabled. If I switch the execstack bit on, both work as expected.
This seems to be an extension of selinux compared to FC4...
But how does it happen that sbcl has the execstack bit on? Rex?
Also since gcl saves its image as an executable, the execstack
bit for this executable must be switched on. How is this to be
handled? Include a README.Fedora while explaining this?
