It obviously works, but IMHO is a heavy handed way to solve this problem as it
will make this path slower by adding what it seems more like an unnecessary
check.

IMHO (and I know Rich disagrees strongly), MAP_JIT (which is AFAIK still and
undocumented flag) should be a compile time option (decided after some sort of
configure if needed to default to on in some cases; ex: when using Apple's
secure modes)

alternatively, taking the responsibility to allocate memory out of the library
and accessible through an API could also help with other similar cases (like
SELinux and such)
