[PATCH] libgcc: correct mode on libgcc_s.so.1 to ensure it gets stripped

[Phil Blundell]

If the library is installed without execute permission then package.bbclass
will not consider it for stripping.  This is particularly unfortunate because 
there seems to be a bug somewhere else which is causing all DSOs to end up with 
a NEEDED dependency on libgcc_s, even if they don't actually require it, and 
hence it is getting installed in all images (for uclibc on i586 at least).
