This is still unfixed in GDB 6.1 ;-(

Can someone *please* fix this trivial but permanently annoying issue on the
CVS server?  This is broken since at least GDB 5.2, but nobody bothered to
spend the five seconds to fix it yet.

Thanks.

I ran chmod a+x for each of the four files on sourceware.

Due to the nature of CVS, this will affect new checkouts, but will not
affect existing working directories.

I will undo this if people complain.

Sure, but at least it will make it into future releases.

I cannot think of a reason this should cause problems for anyone,
especially given that all other configure files already have the proper
permissions, but what do I know :-)

Thanks.
