From b3c6667d7f98cf0347642c7927618fd40cd6f904 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robbie Harwood Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2016 16:45:26 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Install shared libraries as executable RPM expects this behavior, and systems with contrary policies (like Debian) address permissions at the packaging layer. Most other build systems appear to install shared libraries as executable.
