I'm not sure of the reason, but every other system I've seen seems to keep the executable bits set on these dll*.so. I'm not sure what kind of effects removing the executable bits will have. The OCaml dll*.so files are loaded by the OCaml runtime when the *.cma version of the OCaml bindings are used, so they are needed in the general PLplot + OCaml case. plplot.cma depends directly on dllplplot_stubs.so, for example.
