Note that I think the original poster must not have done 'make install', but rather was using an inplace build directly from the unpacked tarball: the install process would have fixed up the permissions otherwise.
No, it doesn't (with 2.8.6)

OK, after some investigation: the issue is not the weird UID/GID on the files (which get preserved when unpacking the tarball as root); the issue is that the person making the file had their umask set to harshly (0077, likely), which means that the files are not readable by anyone but the owner. A workaround is to change the readability after unpacking the tarball, e.g.: $ chmod -R a+r . Andreas, can you confirm?
