Summary0014725: shared library is mistaken for an executable by is_file_executable
DescriptionRunning fixup_bundle on an executable the depends on libQtCore.so.4 will fail, since libQtCore.so.4 is mistaken for an position independent executable by is_file_executable. The culprit is the following test in GetPrerequisits.cmake:
if("${file_ov}" MATCHES "shared object.*\(uses shared libs\)")
which is not specific enough.

Steps To ReproduceRun
> file libQtCore.so.4
libQtCore.so.4: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), BuildID[sha1]=0x46033c4f1e9e6221817fd9eb4d9ce3fdd7c40791, stripped

The output matched the pattern tested for, even though this is a shared library.
A PIE compiled on the same system yields:
> gcc -fPIE test.cpp
> file a.out
a.out: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=0x7a9ef65567c34d0e38a911c4e29273df9eb34f79, not stripped

Additional InformationThe system is question is a Ubuntu 13.10, with the vendor supplied g++. The Qt library in question is not the system Qt, it is compiled from the official Qt 4.8.5 sources.

 The output of file on an executable built with the linker flag -pie in addition to -fPIE gives this:
testqt: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=0xb8230d46ad31abcbfad543383bc78e65f5742a00, not stripped

Which is exactly identical to the output for libQtCore.so.4.

So, it appears we need to use something other than the file command to find out if it is an executable.

But interestingly, I can do this:
$ /usr/lib64/libQtCore.so.4
This is the QtCore library version 4.8.5

So, it is an executable, no?.
