Make EXEC_BACKEND more convenient on Linux and FreeBSD.

Try to disable ASLR when building in EXEC_BACKEND mode, to avoid random
memory mapping failures while testing.  For developer use only, no
effect on regular builds.

This has been originally applied as of f3e7806 for v15~, but
recently-added buildfarm member gokiburi tests this configuration on
older branches as well, causing it to fail randomly as ASLR would be
enabled.
