Can you please remind us why that patch is needed?
If it is needed, how about if we simply do this:
test -x "$file" && test -f "$file"
on modern hosts, and this:
test -f "$file" && test -f "$file"
on older hosts? That will lead to simpler shell scripts. It's a bit
slower on older hosts, but that's not worth worrying about.
