It also results in treating non-regular files as candidates for being
in the hash table, unless there's something about access() that is
implicitly performing the S_ISREG() test.

So you've broken the correctness of the HASH_EXECUTABLES_ONLY option.
Why not just leave it unset instead?  That's why it's an option.

} -                    S_ISREG(statbuf.st_mode) && (statbuf.st_mode & S_IXUGO)))
} +                   !access(pathbuf,X_OK))
