Is it possible that you have a very restrictive umask, or that you are
running 'make check' in a build tree that has files that do not belong
to you?  If the former, please set
  umask 0022

or similar.  If the latter, then please rebuild in a pristine tree.

Also, please do not send HTML mails, and pack attachments (with gzip or
bzip2); sorry for not having written that right away.

Thanks,
Ralf
