bin/jmc.ini is a configuration file and failed in assertion
Comments
jmic is a proprietary file. We've had trouble with it showing up in the bin directory in the past (JDK-8022546 is an example), maybe now is the time to chase it up again.

Any idea how this could be fixed? What about taking a positive list, e.g. all the executables from OpenJDK/jdk/bin on Linux and check their execution bits if the executable exist? (On Windows we'll have to append '.exe' of coarse)

Yes, I believe it stands for Java Mission Control.

I've tested this with OpenJDK and there all the files are executable on Linux/Solaris/MacOSX/AIX and Windows. Is jmc.ini a proprietary build artifact? I couldn't find it in any OpenJDK build.

This is a new test added by JDK-8132475. I believe the test is incorrect to assert that all files in the bin directory should be executable.
