More likely, the umask setting was too restrictive during make install. AFAIR, "umask 022" (i.e. no write permission for anyone except user, but read and execute allowed) is needed to enable non-root users to run R. Some systems set it differently, and we're not overriding that since it could be a policy issue. It's not a bug.
Yep, umask was 077. Maybe 'make install' might warn about that after installation?
