I'd like to use `guix home` to symlink an executable into my home directory. 

Following simple configuration stored at `~/.dotfiles/home-configuration.scm`

`~/.dotfiles/run` is an executable file, after home reconfigure a `~/.run` symlink is created, however the file it is pointing to does _not_ have the execute bit set.

As a result, when I try to execute `~/.run` file I get a "Permission denied" error.

Thank you,

-Nick
