racket not W^X?

Hello,

I was reading a discussion about "an upcoming Common Criteria
requirement that no memory may be executable and writable at the same
time": https://readlist.com/lists/openbsd.org/misc/33/168358.html
(Common Criteria = the Common Criteria for Information Technology
Security Evaluation standard).  In that discussion there is a link to
a list of programs that Linux's PaX believes do not meet the W^X
requirement: https://github.com/thestinger/paxd/blob/master/paxd.conf
For your information, racket is on that list (I guess because the JIT
uses memory pages which are both writable and executable).

Cheers,

Philippe
