Do you mean actual x32, or i386?  These two are different.

Can you actually verify changes in this area?  I think it's pretty hard
these days to find a machine that actually uses the CS hack to avoid
universal read-implies-exec.  I don't think this was ever part of any
mainline kernel.

Thanks,
Florian
