Too restrictive permissions on some files prevent non-root build (with KBUILD_OUTPUT) [bug 2669]

[Kalin KOZHUHAROV <kalin@ThinRope.net>]

I still cannot understand which is better to post bugs here or on the bugzilla, so I'll try both this time.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2669

The problem is that several files were not world readable and this prevents non-root builds by using the new KBUILD_OUTPUT variable.

For 2.6.6 the files in question can be found by:
cd /sometempdir
tar xjf linux-2.6.6.tar.bz2
find linux-2.6.6 ! -perm -004 -exec ls -l {} \;

I guess the one that most people need is the linux-2.6.6/drivers/char/agp/isoch.c

To fix your tree you can (safely?) use:
find /usr/src/linux-2.6.6 ! -perm -004 -exec chmod o+r {} \;

No idea how exactly the tarball is build, but there can be a check proces like the above before making it final.

Kalin.
