On several Unixes, including
* HP-UX 11.00 and 11.11
* SGI IRIX64 6.5
* DYNIX/ptx 4.4.8 (the Unix put out by Sequent, which is now owned by
IBM)
chmod doesn't understand the -f option. This leads to the configure
script crashing.
The patch is to remove the -f option. On a couple of other Unixes I
looked at (Solaris 7 and AIX 4.3.3), the only effect of -f is to
suppress warning messages. So I think this is a pretty safe patch.
