I think it's also the case (I don't have a noexec partition handy to test on) 
that you can get around this by doing something like:
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /tmp/mybadbinary
e.g.:
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /bin/ls

noexec is at best an annoyance to an attacker rather than a real security 
measure. Of course, it would be nice to see a check in interpreters just to 
make things that much trickier.
