Hi folks.
Does anyone know why shared libraries need the execute bit set on them? My
most recent build (gcc4-based) has most[1] *.so files installed with 755
permissions. As it's so consistent, I'm assuming there is a reason for them
to be executable. Thanks to Tarek Ghaleb and Andrew Benton for highlighting
the issue [2].
[1] Exceptions being: /lib/libproc-3.2.5.so (555), /usr/lib/libc.so (644),
/usr/lib/libpthread.so (644), /usr/lib/preloadable_libintl.so (644), and
Perl's modules (555)
/usr/lib/lib{c,pthread}.so aren't libraries, they are ld scripts.
