Current64 - Wed Feb 7 04:28:48 UTC 2018 updates - l/glibc-2.27-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.

New for this glibc version: ldd warns about about non-executable files. E.g. remove the exec bit for /usr/bin/aatest and run:

Code:

root@riposo:~/works# ldd '/usr/bin/aatest'
ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for `/usr/bin/aatest'
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffde6795000)
	libaa.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libaa.so.1 (0x00007fe29f7ca000)
	libslang.so.2 => /usr/lib64/libslang.so.2 (0x00007fe29f306000)
	...

Do not forget to restore aatest's exec bit.

This error message is from the ldd script itself.

Code:

elif test -r "$file"; then
    test -x "$file" || echo 'ldd:' $"\
warning: you do not have execution permission for" "\`$file'" >&2

I'm not sure what the reason for this change is though.
