I asked:

> usr/lib/libdl.so.1 (mode 0644)
> usr/lib/libmp.so.1 (mode 0644)
> usr/lib/libnsl.so.1 (mode 0644)
> usr/lib/nss_files.so.1 (mode 0644)
> usr/lib/security/pam_unix_session.so.1 (mode 0644)
> bogus etc/passwd
> bogus etc/group
> timezone maps (usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/US/Central)
> usr/platform/${UNAME}/lib/libc_psr.so.1

The answer:

Lets all hear it for gratuitous vendor changes!
The library files have to be mode 0555 now.
