--- Comment #3 from Landry Breuil <landry at xfce.org> ---
What i know is that on OpenBSD, basesystem libs have mode 444, and most of the
libs from the ports-tree/packages too. Istr if the lib has the executable flag
it might cause issues with PIE or things like that. But we're using an old
toolchain.....

Basesystem libs for NetBSD/FreeBSD are mode 444 too, and most of the
third-party libs mode 755. From what i can see, debian installs most of its
libs as mode 644.

Turn the thing the other way... why would you want to have them executable, if
they dont need to be ? What sick mind thought "oh itd be a neat idea to have
libc executable" ? :)

>From the history lesson i've been told, only HP-UX really deeply cared if
shared libs had the executable bit set.
