I got at least a partial answer by googling NSA's selinux mailing list archive. I quote from one of those pages: "Typically, that audit message suggests that kernel is translating PROT_READ requests by that binary to PROT_READ|PROT_EXECUTE in order to provide compatibility with "legacy" binaries that presumed read-implies-exec logic." This is an old program that is calling shared libraries. It isn't hurting the program, but it is filling up my audit logs. I guess I'll leave it alone. Thanks anyway.
