"The problem is (SE-)Linux specific (right?)" right, only causes an immediate
problem with SELinux enabled, though that's the default these days on
Fedora/RHEL boxen.

"how is the latter more safe than the former?"

Apparently:

"Using this approach instead of one mapping which is writable and executable at
the same time is safer because the attacker has to know two independently
randomized addresses (this assumes mmap is allowed to perform the 
randomizations)."
