This issue affects many JITs. The WebKit JIT is affected too. Actually, the 
execmem boolean has been enabled by default for a while, did it get disabled 
again in F17? We had been disabling the QtWebKit JIT, but we reenabled it 
when we found out execmem got enabled by default. More and more things in 
Fedora use JITs (see also Orc etc.), and those JITs all tend to require 
execmem, with upstreams showing little to no interest in changing them not 
to. (There is a way, but 1. it's complicated and 2. it hurts performance.)
