Hi
When unpacking the automake-1.10 tarball by a different user
(e.g. root, with 'tar xpf -' ) and then building and running
'make check' from a different object directory, some tests
fail because of missing execute permissions:

/bin/ksh[9]: /build/automake-1.10/tests/cond33.test: cannot execute

This is because some *.test files have permission rwxr--r--
instead of rwxr-xr-x. To find out which tests, do

    cd automake-1.10/tests
    ls -l *.test | grep r--

To make the problem go away, do

    cd automake-1.10/tests
    chmod a+x *.test

before packing up the next distribution ;-)

Greetings,
Arto
