Comment:
I confirm that, if using umask 022, everything is ok.
However if you use umask 077 then you will get permissions that OP showed.
I guess OP was confused by the fact that, if you change umask to 022 and
redo ./configure && make install, it doesn't help. To solve the problem
you need to set umask 022 before you untar the archive, so that files get
right permissions from the beginning.
I agree with OP that permissions should be set correctly during
installation no matter which umask user prefers, so let me reopen this
ticket. (Note: just setting desired umask in the install script doesn't
help for the reasons described above. In other words, installation should
not make any assumption about files permissions apart from being able to
read them.)
