test suite permission denied

Hello,

When running make check on a feshly compiled textutils-2.1
I'm getting mesage such as the following:

Making check in tr
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/copdev/src/textutils-2.1/tests/tr'
/usr/local/bin/make  check-TESTS
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/copdev/src/textutils-2.1/tests/tr'
/bin/bash: ./tr-tests: Permission denied
FAIL: tr-tests
======================================
1 of 1 tests failed
Please report to [email protected]

So far I've had similar message for:

   tests/fmt/basic
         head/head-tests
         join/join-test
         md5sum/basic-1
         md5sum/newline-1
         misc/split-a
         misc/head-pos
         misc/sort
         misc/head-c
         misc/csplit
         od/od-N
         pr/pr-tests
         sort/sort-tests
         sum/basic-1
         sum/sysv
         tac/tac-tests
         tail-2/proc-ksyms
         tail-2/start-middle
         tail-2/assert
         tail-2/assert-2
         tr/tr-tests

Giving them execute permissions solves the problem. There may be
more, but I've given up at this point.

A uname -a gives:

SunOS irwell 5.8 Generic_108528-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise

gcc --version gives:

2.95.3

Regards,

Ashley.
