Subject: gcc, Write and Modify permissions (ntsec)

I've noticed that executables generated by gcc (cygwin 1.3.17-1, gcc
3.2-3, binutils 20021117-1, Windows XP) have Read, Read&Execute and
Write permissions for group and others, ls -l shows their attributes
as -rwxrwxrwx . It seems rather strange - I guess that Write
permission for other users is not necessary. Another oddity is that
chmod always toggles Write and Modify permisisons together, while gcc
(or ld) sets only Write permission without Modify.

Is this an intended behaviour ? Are there any reasons for it ?
