Instead of writing this execpermfix thing in C, I'd do it
as a one-liner in shell.
find FILES-AND-DIRECTORIES \
-type f \
-execdir sh -c 'file --brief "$1" | grep -q executable' -- '{}' \; \
-print0 \
| xargs -0 chmod --verbose +x
Works for me!
(The contortions in the middle are to make sure filenames containing
whitespace, literal single or double quotes, etc, are handled
correctly.)
Cheers,
