This failure happens if you have "." on $PATH and try to build a package
whose upstream build system installs a manual page with executable
permissions. This is not exactly common but I have my suspicions that
it is not entirely rare either, and I'd like to get this fixed to avoid
weird knock-on failures in builds elsewhere.
The patch is short enough that it follows here.
