[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] elfdeps: Generate dependencies on non-executable shared libraries (#1393)

[Panu Matilainen]

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, #1394 kills the ability to chmod a-x to disable dependency generation for all ELF files, whereas #1395 doesn't. 

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. 

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?
