There is a protection problem on one script in the hello-2.7 distribution:

        % tar tvfz ~/hello-2.7.tar.gz | grep install
        -rw-rw-rw-  1 karl     wheel        13998 Mar 22  2011 
hello-2.7/build-aux/install-sh
        -rwxrwxrwx  1 karl     wheel         3538 Apr  5  2010 
hello-2.7/build-aux/mkinstalldirs

The first of those needs execute permission.

I got this during a "make install" on OpenBSD 4.9 x86:

        /bin/sh: ../build-aux/install-sh: cannot execute - Permission denied
        installing bg.gmo as /usr/local/share/locale/bg/LC_MESSAGES/hello.mo
        /bin/sh: ../build-aux/install-sh: cannot execute - Permission denied
        installing ca.gmo as /usr/local/share/locale/ca/LC_MESSAGES/hello.mo
        ... many more

I then did 

        % chmod a+x build-aux/install-sh
        % make install

and everything went normally.
