Hi,

This release has wrong file permissions in the `build-aux' dir:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 gws gws  3707 2007-08-07 18:24 compile
-rw-r--r-- 1 gws gws 44207 2006-06-19 09:39 config.guess
-rwxr-xr-x 1 gws gws 18343 2007-08-09 18:12 config.rpath
-rw-r--r-- 1 gws gws 32436 2006-06-19 09:39 config.sub
-rw-r--r-- 1 gws gws 17171 2006-06-19 09:39 depcomp
-rw-r--r-- 1 gws gws 11529 2006-06-19 09:39 install-sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 gws gws  1292 2007-02-18 20:07 link-warning.h
-rwxr-xr-x 1 gws gws  5483 2006-06-19 09:39 mdate-sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 gws gws 11135 2006-06-19 09:39 missing
-rw-r--r-- 1 gws gws     0 2006-06-19 09:39 texinfo.tex

Everything except for `texinfo.tex' should be 755. I just checked some
other similar packages (Gzip, Tar) and they both have correct permissions.

Most folks are not affected. I only noticed this because the build failed
on a very old distro (Red Hat 6.2):

../../build-aux/install-sh -c -d sys
/temptools/bin/bash: ../../build-aux/install-sh: Permission denied
make[2]: *** [sys/stat.h] Error 126
make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/sysroot/temptools/src/texinfo-4.11/gnulib/lib'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

The makefiles decided to use `install-sh' because of this:

checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... build-aux/install-sh -c -d

Anyway, fixing the permissions makes the build succeed.

Regards
Greg
