Summary: lib-dynload/*.so permissions wrong

Initial Comment:
After

    ./configure --prefix=<PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR>
    make
    make test
    make install

the .so files installed 
in '<PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR>/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload' 
have permissions set to 700. They should instead have 
file permissions set to 755.

Running the python interpreter as a non-root user with 
the lib-dynload/*.so file permissions set to 700 (as 
is done by the install), a simple import of the time 
module fails:

    >>> import time
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
    ImportError: No module named time
    >>>

After changing file permissions to 755, 'import time' 
works fine.

When you perform the installation, what is your umask?
