[Fedora-packaging] [Fwd: Re: [CMake] cmake does not set execute bit on shared libraries]

[Orion Poplawski]

Some interesting information about the shared library execute bit issue.

Why is it that we require the execute bit?  I found an old post about it 
maybe being tied to the kernel protecting overwriting running programs, 
but no idea if that ever was put it place.
