No idea, but personally I think relying on any other permissions to SourceX 
and PatchX than read is fragile[0] and should be avoided.  Doesn't this work 
(note the "sh")?

    %define __find_provides sh %{SOURCE11}

[0] In addition to this case, eg. using explicit permissions when SourceX are 
copied directly to the binary package payloads is a must.
