Apparently the last weeks code rule was a surprise, I don't think the vendors knew about it. I'm not sure this sort of last-minute patching would make much difference Even if the vulnerability is still there, screwing with the way the binary is built and linked could easily make it so they'd have to put it back in a debugger and retune the exploit.
