The permissions probably *are* set by the compiler, but copying the files
to Linux destroys permissions unless you give the "-p" option to cp/scp.
Transferring executables via ftp will probably destroy permissions also.

IMHO, it's unlikely that Linux can destroy NTFS partitions that it only
has read-only access to.  I've been wrong before, though...
