Configure failing why?

[Samuel M. Smith]

Thanks for your help.
Your confirmation that gcc should be setting the execute permissions  
gave me something easy
to test against.

I finally discovered the problem. It was nfs.  The file system was  
nfs mounted and nfs is causing
the aberrant behavior. If I did the test on the onboard flash file  
system it worked. I finally used a different
nfs server and the problem went away.

I was serving nfs from a Mac OS X 10.4.3 machine. The problem did not  
occur on OS X 10.4.2 not does it occur
when serving nfs from OS X 10.3.9
It something new introduced in 10.4.3. I don't have a fix for it.
Anyone have a suggestion it would help.
