There's RPM automation available (if you wish).

	Write a script that walks $RPM_BUILD_ROOT and does chmod +x. Use
	patterns and directory paths to avoid false positive side effects.

	Add the script to macros to be run at end of %install before dependencies are extracted.

Its rather astonishing that years and years later that missing package dependencies due to
non-executable bits on ELF libraries needs to be discussed.

And yes: Fix the package(s) *.spec recipes if you wish instead of automating "chmod +x …" in RPM.
