(1) I did in uClinux branch 2008R1 this command:
find user -type f -name Makefile -perm /u+x
user/openvpn/plugin/down-root/Makefile
user/openvpn/plugin/auth-pam/Makefile
user/openvpn/service-win32/Makefile
user/blkfin-test/camera_test/Makefile
user/blkfin-test/event_test/Makefile
user/blkfin-test/video_test/Makefile
there are files with the wrong execute permission set. (user/blkfin-test/video_test/lissa.c) etc.
(2) in this file: user/blkfin-test/event_test/Makefile
the application is compiled with name: event_test
but in the source (evtest.c) the error messages print the wrong file name
for example in line 233: printf ("Usage: evtest /dev/inputX\n");
I hope this can be useful to improve this great linux distribution.

there are many files which probably shouldnt have execute permissions ... we dont rigorously check these as often time they are broken in the upstream distribution (the expat pkg is a good example of this) ... they arent actually causing you a problem for you, are they ?
for our local packages, i'll fix things up
as for evtest.c, ive just changed things to argv[0]
