 This probably is caused by src/distrib/sets/makesrctars which does a sed
 run on an mtree specification to make sure all simple files get 0664
 permissions:
 
        ${SED} -e 's:type=file:& mode=0664:' \
                -e 's:type=dir:& mode=0775:' \
 
 A few lines below it special cases build.sh and adds exec permissions.
 
 Now there are two ways to solve this:
 
  - add more exceptions to the script, so it creats executable scripts where
    needed
 
  - make sure the whole build does not need to invoke any shell script as
    direct command (but use "sh $script" instaed)
 
 The latter seems overall preferable, the former needs to be done if any
 exceptions remain.
