Title:
  double-clicking on an executable created with gcc6 opens an error
  message

Status in Nautilus:
  Unknown
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 16.10 x64 with Nautilus 3.20.3

  * Open a terminal
  * Install gcc: sudo apt install build-essential
  * Build an executable: printf "int main() { return 1; }" | gcc -x c -
  * Open a Nautilus window on the current directory: nautilus .
  * Double-click on the generated executable: a.out

  Expected result: Nautilus starts the executable. No error is displayed.
  Actual result: Nautilus displays an error message:

     Could not display "a.out".
     There is no application installed for shared library files.
     Do you want to search for an application to open this file?

  Also, all executable files compiled with gcc6 have a generic icon
  instead of the purple lozenge.
