+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> in that case i guess we would need a policy or bs check to make sure

+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> don't fail some libraries debug and strip

+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Possibly.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Interestingly, Debian policy disallows executable permission on shared
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> libs:

+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> &quot;Shared libraries should not be installed executable, since the
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> dynamic
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> linker does not require this and trying to execute a shared library
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> usually results in a core dump.&quot;
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> which is sort of strange, since libc is actually executable by design.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> i see where they are coming from
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> but i guess the first part of this is, why is there a find with
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> executable restrictions for the code relating to stripped binaries and
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> debug?
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> is it because it's also used for real executables?
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> I guess it is there just to speed up the process, otherwise it would
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> have to run 'file' for every file in the package (and many packages have
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> lots of files).
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> still, it seems kind of weird, there are rpmlint checks for unstripped
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> libraries, but i do have 34 libraries not marked as executable, while the
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> stripping+ debug seems to target only executables?
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> i wonder if we should make another check library unset as executable or
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> even
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> check what happened with these libraries not marked as executable?
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I posted a link to a rpmlint patch implementing such a check to this
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> thread two
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> hours ago.. :p
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I don't much point to a check, when a rpm-helper scriptlet would be able to
+</I>&gt;<i> automatically enforce any given permission set.
+</I>I eventually reached that conclusion as well, especially as I ran into
+same issues with mono
+libraries as well..

+I've just pushed a new spec-helper to cooker with the following script:
