[Rpm-maint] [PATCH] Split the processing programs and libraries

The elfdeps runs only for executable files, but some
Linux distributions, remove the executable bit from shared libraries.
For example, a quote from debian policy:

"Shared libraries should not be installed executable, since the dynamic
linker does not require this and trying to execute a shared library
usually results in a core dump."
