I think that would be reasonable. As Russ noted, system policies differ
on this point, but toolchains (including libtool) seem to tend in the
direction of setting the executable bit, and the system policies are
decided at the packaging level.
The way our build system has this set up is per-platform; it's currently
+x on HPUX (if building on HPUX even still works) and -x everywhere
else. So we could make the change globally, or just for Linux platforms.
