Umask issue with installing directories? |

Hello,
I've been having an annoying issue that looks a bit like a umask issue. When I
do `sudo make install` on a project that installs a directory of things,the
files get installed with reasonable permissions (644), but the directories
(e.g. /usr/local/include/<projectname> that get installed get a permission mask
of 700---which is entirely useless.
Now, obviously, part of this is that the files get installed with `install` and
a permission mode is specified, whereas directories are created with `mkdir`
and a permission mode is (for some reason) NOT specified. Thus it's defined by
the current umask (which, for me, is 0077).
Is this my fault for having too restrictive a umask, or is this autotools fault
for making invalid assumptions about my umask? Is there a way around this?
I'm using automake 1.11.1 and autoconf 2.65 on MacOS 10.6.3, if that makes a
difference.
