Fix non-deterministic "missing: Permission denied" errors

Make 'missing' executable where source tarballs use autotools
and are unpack with untar. untar doesn't preserve or set mtime,
which may result in autotools generated files, e.g. configure,
having newer timestamps than their source files (e.g. configure.in.)
In these circumstances autotools generated Makefiles will call
'missing' to either regenerate them or fix-up the timestamps.
