Hi H.J.
Apparently this is for compatibility with UnixWare and Solaris. See
bfd/elf.c:3849:
/* FIXME: UnixWare and Solaris set PF_X, Irix 5 does not. */
m->p_flags = PF_R | PF_X;
Is the execute bit causing you problems ? The ELF standard does not forbid it,
so unless there is an actual issue that needs fixing I do not see any reason to
change the current behaviour.
Cheers
Nick
