1	> Is the hardened tool-chain set to use PageExec?

3	what gets used depends on two things: your kernel .config
4	and the PaX control bits (which come either from the
5	executable or from an ACL system). the toolchain creates
6	executables that enable (well, more like request) both
7	PAGEEXEC and SEGMEXEC, and whichever you enabled in your
8	kernel's .config will then be used. if you enabled both
9	then SEGMEXEC will be used over PAGEEXEC (on 2.6 you can
10	actually decide which one you want as default).

13
14	just enable SEGMEXEC in .config and it will be used over
15	PAGEEXEC.
