Summary and Info:

makepkg will silently build deadly packages with incorrect permissions if built on a filesystem that doesn't properly support permissions.

Steps to Reproduce:

Mount an ntfs volume like:
ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,uid=1000,gid=1000

% git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/modules.git
% cd modules
% makepkg

File permissions are missing executable flags. Do not install that package!

I suggest that makepkg should perform a sanity check on the used filesystem.
This task depends upon
