>Description:
configure fails with

running /bin/sh /vol/gnu/src/gdb/gdb-5.2/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/configure  --prefix=/vol/gnu --disable-nls --cache-file=../.././config.cache --srcdir=/vol/gnu/src/gdb/gdb-5.2/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base
loading site script /vol/gnu/share/config.site
/vol/gnu/src/gdb/gdb-5.2/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/configure: /vol/gnu/src/gdb/gdb-5.2/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/configure: cannot execute
/vol/gnu/src/gdb/gdb-5.2/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/configure: test: unknown operator 2
configure: error: /vol/gnu/src/gdb/gdb-5.2/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/configure failed for gdb.base
configure: error: /vol/gnu/src/gdb/gdb-5.2/gdb/testsuite/configure failed for testsuite

This happens because this configure script lacks execute permissions in the distribution.  There are some others with the same problem:

./gdb/gdbserver/configure
./gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/configure
./gdb/testsuite/gdb.c++/configure
./gdb/testsuite/gdb.disasm/configure
./gdb/testsuite/gdb.stabs/configure
>How-To-Repeat:
Run configure with the default CONFIG_SHELL (i.e. /bin/sh) on sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1 (the problem happened on e.g. IRIX 6.2 too).
>Fix:
Change permissions.  This needs to be done in the CVS repository to take effect.
