That's wrong. It should always have been (st_mode & 0111) for root.

Hello,
It's quite common to see code that calls test -x to check whether the x
bit was disabled on a file, before trying to execute it.
That does not work on the Hurd for uid 0:
# touch foo
# ls -l foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 May 24 21:31 foo
# [ -x foo ] && echo erf
erf
# ./foo
-bash: ./foo: P
