Currently ia32 binaries behave differently with respect to enabling READ_IMPLIES_EXEC. On i386 a binary with the exec_stack flag set is executed with READ_IMPLIES_EXEC enabled as well. The same binary executes without READ_IMPLIES_EXEC on x86-64. This causes binaries that work on i386 to fail on x86-64 which goes somewhat against the whole 32 bit emulation idea. It has been argued that READ_IMPLIES_EXEC should not be enabled at all for binaries that have the exec_stack flag. Which is probably a valid point. However until this is clarified I think x86-64 should behave the same for ia32 binaries as i386. The following patch brings x86-64 in sync with i386 for ia32 binaries.
