It shows:

---snip---
$ ls -l
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/as.exe
----r-x---+ 1 root Users 26 May 22 03:29
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/as.exe

user@computer
$ _
---snap---

so, the file exist and is executable by group (Users), so the user
should also be able to execute... shouldn't it?

Anyway I set the file manually to

chmod 555
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/as.exe

and then the user (root), group(Users) and world should be able to execute,
but still get that error... :-(

Is the setting to 050 a result of the introduction of gcc v4.x? Why?
btw: all other bins (ar.exe, etc) in this bin directory are set to 550
btw2: all bins ind C:\cygwin\bin are set to 050 ??? but I don't
know if that was the state before the introduction of gcc 4.x
btw3: the admin user's name is "root" and the users name is "user"
and the common group of users is "Users", as you can see in the
result of the "ls -l" command

Is there an essential change of the right management since the
introduction of gcc v4.x?

Thomas
