# readelf -l obj-arm-linux-androideabi/dist/lib/libxul.so | grep STACK
  GNU_STACK      0x000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000 0x00000 RWE 0x4

The permissions should be RW instead of RWE. In practice, it's not a real issue, because the android linker doesn't support executable stack at all, but the new linker I'm writing for bug 683127 does reject libraries with executable stack (because it's safer to do so), which makes it reject libxul.so on android.

My wild guess is that we lack the necessary bits in some of the assembly files.
