Version 1.6.6: Bad permissions on Arduino.app/Contents/Java/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude_bin

Using 1.6.6, the zipped file installs this file sans the execute bit.

Installs 0644, should be 0755.

I noticed that the same issue persists in Arduino IDE 1.6.7, released in December 2015. Same issue: avrdude_bin executable ships without the execute bits enabled under OS X at least:

Flags before:
-rw-r--r--@ 1 admin staff 369784 Apr 14 2015 avrdude_bin

Fix:
chmod 755 avrdude_bin ## in admin account

Flags after:
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 admin staff 369784 Apr 14 2015 avrdude_bin

avrdude_bin is shipped without executable bit to avoid Gatekeeper warning on Yosemite and newer OSX (#3468)
If you take a look at avrdude wrapper script (which gets called by the IDE) it takes care of adding the executable flag.

See #4501 for issues on a multi-user laptop deployment scenario.
