What's the normal reaction of the kernel if the program tries to
execute code on the stack with the option enabled?  If it terminates
the program (what I would expect) this means that the glibc code does
not contain any code which tries to execute code on the stack.  From
this follows that the kernel modification has a problem since it
effects other code as well.
