>Description:

src/lib/checkver must have executable permissions otherwise the build
will fail.  Surprisingly, it appears to have been like this for quite
some time.

I don't know if there is any policy on having executables in the source
tree...

>How-To-Repeat:

Remove executable permission from src/lib/checkver (or mount noexec) and
attempt a build.

>Fix:

Follow precedent set by src/distrib/sets:
