Thanks for the patch. Can you explain how the x bit vanished?
This looks like the bug we should fix first.
Welcome back Alexandre.
Yeah, the executable bit vanishing has nothing to do with automake. If an
upstream source tarball does not use the autotools, it is sometimes easier
to build if it is modified to use them. Then a patch is generated, and
applied to the unpacked clean sources during the build. patch(1) knows
nothing about permissions, so executable bits etc can disappear.
