Not really, but it pays to be consistent.

This shouldn't be necessary any more, if your non root user builds
with umask 022.  I changed mtree so that the default directory perms
are 0777 instead of 0700 (both modified by umask).

It's not the default for MAKEOBJDIR, if you wish to use that behaviour
(which means you can use read-only source).  (I personally use -M over
-O; your mileage may vary)
