Don't be silly. This only affects you if you untar as a different user
than you build as. And if you do that, you will have a read-only
source directory which you can't build in anyway.[1]

[1] Though I am currently trying to change this. I have a relatively
small patch that changes some Makefiles, Configure, Menuconfig, etc.
and adds an autoconf-ish `configure' to set up VPATHs. Shows
promise of working on i386 soon....
