All bits may have been accidentally set when I scp'ed stdinc.dir to my Windows machine for inspection. I sent the .tar from it. I believe the SELinux is installed by default on CentOS 6.2 and I didn't change it. Following the Libtool bug I retrieved the newer 1.11.2 version of Automake and rebuilt it in a local directory as well but I still get the same failed stdinc test. $ umask shows 0022 $ ls -ARZ --full-time stdinc.dir shows the following: stdinc.dir: total 344 -rw-r--r--. 1 unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0 mwezz users 34837 2012-02-01 12:42:03.031106957 -0500 aclocal.m4 drwxr-xr-x. 2
