In bind 9.9, export libraries are installed with INSTALL_DATA. In Fedora we use libtool with dynamically linked export libraries for DHCP packages. Package build is broken after upgrade to 9.9.10. It does expand variables to this on Fedora 25: INSTALL_DATA = ${INSTALL} -m 644 INSTALL_LIBRARY = ${INSTALL_PROGRAM} Installed export dynamic libraries are then installed without execute bit. I think lib/export was forgotten when backporting commit 38398c590ab7aeb5c3d3749c1a8d672e6f2f138c into v9_9 branch.
