+Subject: [PATCH] find-debuginfo: Check files are writable before modifying
+ them
+
+Since commit dfe1f7ff3 ("find-debuginfo.sh: Exit with real exit status
+in parallel jobs") there is a check whether gdb-add-index worked
+correctly and find-debuginfo would fail (even in parallel mode) if an
+error occured.
+
+This turned out to show that gdb-add-index needs write permission to
+add the gdb index to the file. This is also the case for a couple of
+other things, like running objcopy --merge-notes. debugedit and
+add_minidebug already made sure it had write permission.
+
+To make sure find-debuginfo doesn't (partially) fail extend the
+writable check to include the gdb-add-index and objcopy --merge-notes
+invocation.
