Description Florian Weimer 2016-03-30 14:02:40 UTC 
Once bug 1322443 is implemented, we need to add support for the new O_NEEDEXEC flag (or whatever it is called) to glibc, so that script interpreters can specify it when opening script files.
Comment 1 Florian Weimer 2019-10-23 15:42:33 UTC 
In more than three years, kernel support has not materialized. There is an other attempt in the form of O_MAYEXEC. If the kernel ever implements the feature, we may consider adding support to glibc (e.g., the dynamic loader should use O_MAYEXEC for executables).
