PaX only randomises the stack pointer when you enable address space layout
randomisation features in the kernel configuration.

A better way of testing PaX functionality is to use PaXtest. If you are
Adamantix user, you can apt-get install paxtest. If not, you can download and
compile it on your system from: http://www.adamantix.org/paxtest/
