[maemo-developers] Chmod Issue on 810

[From: Dr. Nicholas Shaw]

I untar'd sqlite3 and I am able to see the execute bits and I was able to
run configure (script).  Sadly though there are errors that may be the
result of Maemo being only a subset of Debian.  So I'll start checking the
errors in config.log.

Again - thanks!

Nick.

No, it won't be able to store those bits because such permission 
information isn't stored on that file system.  But I can run executables 
stored on VFAT with those options. Isn't that good enough?
