This reporting was, in fact, too optimistic; the check.sh script had a bug
that meant it wasn't inspecting '*.a' files (even though it was including them
in the per-package binary/library counts).
With this fix in place:
-done < <(find "${PACKAGE}" -type f -a -executable -o -name '*.so' -print0)
2>/dev/null;
+done < <(find "${PACKAGE}" -type f -a \( -executable -o -name '*.so' -o -name
'*.a' \) -print0) 2>/dev/null;
... the report summary at the time-of-writing is:
2467
1639
345
... and so it seems that the percentage of susceptible packages for arch i386
in bookworm could be closer to 20%.
