My umask is 0077 and it's set globally, i.e., for the root account as
well. I don't know exactly how sudo deals with it. However, I don't
think sudo is the problem here, as I said before, permissions are set
during the building.

Anyway, I solved this by setting a less restrictive umask (if available)
explicitly in setup.py.
