I assume the script is part of your distribution and only needs to have executable permission there, right?
In order to give it these executable permissions when you build your distribution use a
---
dist-hook:
chmod 755 your_script
---
in your top level Makefile.

Hope this helps.

I have a shell script which I want to run as part of a testsuite. However
when I do a 'make distcheck' this script (which does not get configured or
anything at build time) ends up with execute permissions turned off.
Since I want to be able to properly deal with a read only source tree,
what should I do?

Thanks
