From: Hengqi Chen <hengqi.chen@gmail.com> [ Upstream commit 9e32084ef1c33a87a736d6ce3fcb95b60dac9aa1 ] Currently, resolve_full_path() requires executable permission for both programs and shared libraries. This causes failures on distos like Debian since the shared libraries are not installed executable and Linux is not requiring shared libraries to have executable permissions. Let's remove executable permission check for shared libraries.
