Bug#444990: FTBFS due to nonexecutable tests

[Ian Jackson <iwj@ubuntu.com>]

Package: dmake
Version: 1:4.9-1
Tags: patch

As reported at http://launchpad.net/bugs/135564, dmake seems to fail
to build in some circumstances because some of the tests/target-*
files are not executable.

I'm not sure what differs in my tests from the situation prevailing on
the maintainer's system and on the buildds, but I have reproduced the
problem with both the 1:4.9-1 and 1:4.7-4 source packages, with as
build environment both recent Ubuntu gutsy and a moderately recent
Debian lenny.

Really I think it would be best for automake to deal with this and
I'll be submitting a separate bug about that but in the meantime
dmake's debian/rules fixed.  The patch below seems to do the job.

Thanks,
Ian.
