Some interesting information about the shared library execute bit

Why is it that we require the execute bit? I found an old post about it

but no idea if that ever was put it place.
Roland,
Do you know why we only eu-strip libraries if they have the execute bit
set? As the cmake folks pointed out, this is the opposite of Debian's
policy (never set the libraries executable).
