Maybe chstk utility will help him. It's distributed in ASPLinux at
least, primary for running wine without problems on owl-patched kernel.
It works fine with mplayer:

[mosgalin at VM10124 mosgalin]$ sudo /usr/sbin/chstk -d /usr/local/bin/mplayer
[mosgalin at VM10124 mosgalin]$ ldd /usr/local/bin/mplayer | grep libc.so
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00625000)
[mosgalin at VM10124 mosgalin]$ sudo /usr/sbin/chstk -e /usr/local/bin/mplayer
[mosgalin at VM10124 mosgalin]$ ldd /usr/local/bin/mplayer | grep libc.so
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40515000)
[mosgalin at VM10124 mosgalin]$ /usr/sbin/chstk
Usage: /usr/sbin/chstk OPTION FILE...
Manage stack area executability flag for binaries

  -e    enable execution permission
  -d    disable execution permission
  -v    view current flag state

The flag only has effect when running the patched Linux kernel
[mosgalin at VM10124 mosgalin]$ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/chstk
kernel-utils-2.4-8.13.7.3asp
