We currently install everything (except bin/go and bin/gofmt) with
INSTALL_DATA, thus stripping executable bits from several tools and
scripts. I am not sure it is a good idea. FWIW I switched do-install
to cp because tests of some package wanted to use some script from go's
own tests, and assumed that it has 'x' permission bit set. Provided
that we don't package much software in go, it may be worth keeping
closer to upstream.
Tracking permissions manually and using INSTALL_{PROGRAM,SCRIPT} when
needed would require much effort with no real benefit. Just using cp
instead we get
$ find /usr/local/go -type f -exec stat -f '%Su %Sg %Sp' {} + | sort | uniq -c
7483 root bin -r--r--r--
34 root bin -r-xr-xr-x
with two lines of shell commands. Even if permission changes will be
required in future, it will likely be easier to chmod individual files.
