cl.exe compiles libraries with blank permissions

Wed Jul 8 12:33:00 GMT 2009

Further research shows that the issue is that the file is first created with
additional windows permissions i.e. doing ls -lrt on the file gives:
----------+ 1 myname Domain Users 14436 Jul 8 13:00 mylib.lib
The '+' indicating additional permissions.
The file is then copied to a separate directory and the additional
permissions are lost, so now doing an ls -lrt gives:
---------- 1 myname Domain Users 14436 Jul 8 13:04 mylib.lib
The '+' is gone. So does anyone know why the file permissions get removed
when the file is copied?
Thanks,
Ian
