<p>They're not incompatible with each other, but for the purpose of addressing the issue that libraries should not have to be packaged as executable, <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="719208532" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/issues/1394" data-hovercard-type="pull_request" data-hovercard-url="/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/1394/hovercard" href="https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/1394">#1394</a> kills the ability to chmod a-x to disable dependency generation for all ELF files, whereas <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="719250684" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/issues/1395" data-hovercard-type="pull_request" data-hovercard-url="/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/1395/hovercard" href="https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/1395">#1395</a> doesn't.</p>
<p>But then the latter requires libraries to be executable in the first place, which is a bit silly but that's how at least autotools installs them. Dunno about newer build-tool chains.</p>
<p>Maybe the real "issue" behind this all is to admit that the executable bit as a marker for dependency generation has long since stopped being meaningful. And if it's not meaningful for one thing then should it be meaningful for anything at all then?</p>
