I remember this biting me within the last ~4 years' time. I don't know if it's still an issue or not, though, as we might have places in our codebase where 'test -x' may have crept back in since then. If there is an easy way to test for it, I'd rather there was something like an AC_SANITY macro that would test for these ancient cases and squawk if the running system botched them.
