This means that Windows permissions inheritance is kicking in, and you are
creating files that have ACLs owned by a different user than the owner of
the directory.  Use getfacl to see what permissions you are really
assigning, and consider chown'ing the directory to the user doing the
emacs build, to see if that will help.
