  I wonder if this is the right path to take. There is really no reason 
why shared libs should be executable. And in the target of my 
allpackageyesconfig I find a lot more than these three:

$ find target -type f -a \
   \( -name \*.so -o -name \*.so.[0-9]* \) -a \
   \! -executable
target/usr/libexec/sudoers.so
target/usr/libexec/sudo_noexec.so
target/usr/lib/libisc.so.57.1.2
target/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_omniidlmodule.so.4.1
target/usr/lib/libdvbsec.so
target/usr/lib/libesg.so
target/usr/lib/libacl.so.1.1.0
target/usr/lib/libCOSDynamic4.so.1.6
target/usr/lib/libomniDynamic4.so.1.6
target/usr/lib/libhogweed.so.2.5
target/usr/lib/libdns.so.113.0.1
target/usr/lib/libpci.so.3.2.0
target/usr/lib/nm-n.libdirectfb-1.6.so.0
target/usr/lib/libisccfg.so.50.0.9
target/usr/lib/lua/cjson.so
target/usr/lib/nm-n.libdirect-1.6.so.0
target/usr/lib/libattr.so.1.1.0
target/usr/lib/libomniORB4.so.1.6
target/usr/lib/nm-n.libfusion-1.6.so.0
target/usr/lib/libbind9.so.50.0.10
target/usr/lib/libucsi.so
target/usr/lib/libisccc.so.50.0.4
target/usr/lib/libdvbcfg.so
target/usr/lib/libomniConnectionMgmt4.so.1.6
target/usr/lib/libebml.so.3
target/usr/lib/libproxychains4.so
target/usr/lib/libdvben50221.so
target/usr/lib/libomniCodeSets4.so.1.6
target/usr/lib/libmatroska.so.5
target/usr/lib/liblwres.so.50.0.9
target/usr/lib/libdvbapi.so
target/usr/lib/libCOS4.so.1.6
target/usr/lib/liblockdev.1.0.3.so
target/usr/lib/libnettle.so.4.7
target/usr/lib/libomnithread.so.3.4


  In addition, such patches are not really future-safe in case a package 
adds a new library.

  So I would propose to instead change the find command to

STRIP_FIND_CMD += -type f
STRIP_FIND_CMD += \( -perm /111 -o -name \*.so -o -name \*.so.[0-9]* \)

  Regards,
  Arnout
