Since no one uses ObjC, that should make a non-executable stack
possible.

Think again, check out GNUStep... I know numerous people who cannot
wait to have a NeXTSTEP like interface available under Linux, so once
that project is mostly complete it is expected to be popular. The
entire thing is written in Objective C.

Everyone get the non-executable stack idea out of your heads, it's
illogical, and it's wrong, and most importantly it breaks too many
things.
