It seems this must mean "world-writable". Most probably, because this is what I have in my bzr branches. I guess that's because of umask, see below. > I tested with Debian testing's gdb "7.3-debian".

That was the gist of what I was saying. > This seems entirely reasonable to me It was sufficiently controversial at the time to not make it into the official GDB. > Since I hope that everyone building Emacs from source does not use > `umask 000' I do, FWIW. Don't ask me why, it's something I have in my .bash_login since about forever. > I don't think any Emacs changes are needed. No Emacs changes are needed in any case, since RMS can chmod the file, and bzr will not touch the write mode bits.
