Well, this may be something more for the rpm world than anywhere else. rpm wont
properly detect soname provides unless the library is executable, so it's
somewhat convention there. 

Some libraries you can actually exec: 

% /lib64/libc.so.6
GNU C Library (GNU libc) development release version 2.21.90, by Roland McGrath
et al.

Some ldd implementations complain when shared libraries aren't executable: 
% ldd libfoo.so
ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for `./libfoo.so'

So, nothing hard and fast here, but it would be nice for the rpm world. Does it
cause any problems on your machine to have it 755?
