Re-reading this discussion again, I think there is a misunderstanding between us. I wanted to set executable bit just to these two binaries listed in my original report:

jlinkarm_nrf_worker_linux
jlinkarm_nrf_worker_osx

I did not intend to give executable bits on all files in the folder - of course, that would be a plain wrong approach. Can you please re-evaluate this thread and come back to me? Thanks. P.

Thanks for the feedback, though I do not understand why is it undesirable? There is an obvious issue because the library calls `exec` system call on one of the binaries inside your package but that cannot be executed. The system call fails on it and your package is unusable on both Linux and macOS. It is a serious deployment bug.

You have fixed the issue in v10.15.2 but re-introduced this in the next version.

I can confirm this issue. Giving up 755 permission to all files in lib_x64 directory removes an issue. However this is undesirable to give such an access to files.
