Title:
  ld creates libraries with executable permissions

Status in “binutils” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 dev with binutils 2.23.1-0ubuntu6. On creating
  a library with ld it sets executable permissions. Here is an example:

  sworddragon at ubuntu:~/data$ gcc -c test.c -fPIC
  sworddragon at ubuntu:~/data$ ld -shared -soname test.so -o test.so test.o
  sworddragon at ubuntu:~/data$ ls -l test.o test.so
  -rw------- 1 sworddragon sworddragon 1224 Jan 25 23:34 test.o
  -rwx------ 1 sworddragon sworddragon 2068 Jan 25 23:34 test.so
