If those files get installed by some other user than the one trying to use them they'd be inaccessible, both on UN*X and Windows. I've checked what openSUSE does and they just enter the build script with a 'umask 022'. I didn't find any patch that fixes up the permissions later, So that seems to be enough. I'd try to build that way first. [later=E2=80=A6] Yup, just setting the umask to some 022 before building the packages does the right thing on Cygwin, too.
