  No.  It is a sign that something else has gone wrong with your installation.

  That's also wrong.  It should be 750.

  Sounds to me like your real problem is that all your permissions have been
trashed somehow, or whatever caused that.  I can imagine that last time you
ran setup.exe to get updates, it would have gone horribly wrong if you don't
have any write permissions to replace the updated files.

  No, absolutely not.  The compiler has no control over permissions anyway,
that's all handled in the Cygwin DLL.

  Please run "cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out", and then send the
cygcheck.out file with your next post - as an attachment, please don't copy
and paste it into the body of the email.  That might give us enough more info
to figure out what's going on.

    cheers,
      DaveK
