NTFS is a notoriously difficult file system (not as bad as FAT, but
still not POSIX compliant).  The fact that your Linux kernel file system
driver doesn't support setting executable bits (or at least not
reporting them) is not a bug in coreutils, but a limitation of your
kernel driver.  If you want anything to change, you'll have to report it
to the kernel folks.

As such, I'm closing this as not a coreutils bug; there's nothing we can
do about it here.  However, do feel free to ask further questions on
this thread, as needed.
