Umm...
What do you think about this ?

By the way, the following code seems to be wastful.

path.cc:1517-
      /* Check the file's extended attributes, if it has any.  */
      int unixattr;

      if (get_file_attribute (path, &unixattr) > 0)
	{
	  if ((unixattr & STD_XBITS) != 0)
	    *exec = 1;
	  if (! S_ISLNK (unixattr))
	    ;
	}

The exec flag set by this code is used only to skip checking a
file suffix in fhandler.cc:1064-1066. get_file_attribute() is
too heavy for this purpose becase it read NTEA. These code can
be eliminted safly.
