Prompted by recent security advisories I did a 'make buildworld'
on a fresh svn checkout, only to find out that it seems the 'exec'
mount flag on /usr/src is still required for a successful build.

This wasn't so for 10.2, and I hope it won't become a requirement
in 10.3 - or at least it should be clearly documented in release notes.

So, is this a new state of affairs that /usr/src file system
needs to be mounted exec in order for buildworld to succeed,
or is this an unintended change and I should file a bug report?

Up to about a week ago building world on FreeBSD 10.2-STABLE went
just fine. Today after svn update the build fails:

It turns out that our file system /usr/src had an "exec" flag
turned off, so now running a command:
   /usr/src/contrib/netbsd-tests/lib/libc/net/gen_ether_subr
fails with "Permission denied".

It would be valuable if building a system on an exec-protected
src file system would continue to be possible.

Not sure if the /usr/src/contrib/netbsd-tests/lib/libc/net/gen_ether_subr
is the only such new command breaking the build. Anyway, a simple
workaround is to run shell from a command line instead of as a
shebang, i.e.:

# /bin/sh /usr/src/contrib/netbsd-tests/lib/libc/net/gen_ether_subr

instead of:

   # /usr/src/contrib/netbsd-tests/lib/libc/net/gen_ether_subr

I was puzzled by similar thing years ago. I was using /var/db and /tmp
mounted with noexec. And then there was some changes. Ports need
/var/db with exec because of some script in /var/db/pkg and /tmp must
have exec too for buildworld or installworld (I don't remember it
well, now I always do mount -u -o current,exec /tmp before build +
install world and kernel)

Anyway - it would be better to not have these partitions mounted with exec.
