I am seeing lots of errors in policy because of shell scripts and exes

executed after make relabel that would find these files and change their 
context to bin_t.

find /usr -perm +111 --context system_u:object_r:usr_t -type f -exec 
chcon \
system_u:object_r:bin_t {} ; -print


Is this a bad idea?  I do notice that their are a lot of files marked 
executables by their install that are really not executable, but this 
would clean up several failures untill the package installs are cleaned up.
    

It might be better to define multiple types for different groups of
binaries, and only grant execute access as appropriate.

As a side note, be careful about symlinks.  The above find construct
will get the context of the symlink, but the chcon will set the context
of the referenced file unless you specify -h.
  
The -type f on the command line will ensure that it only gets files, not sym links.
