I can't reproduce this. (workforsome) I checked and the configure is indeed executable as it should be. net-misc/dhcpcd-1.3.22_p4-r5 merges just fine for me. Bug reporter sure you don't have a your /var//tmp mounted with noexec? Perhaps have some form of Trusted Path Execution enabled?
Fixed it with a little perl script, for some reason the permissions were wrong for me, and wouldn't let me execute it.
