Dear all!
As I do not know on which lists it might be considered on-topic
(I read only MinGW), I did not change the distribution.

This is probably a consequence of the file system: I assume that was
done on a FAT or FAT32 file system which does not support the
Unix style "x" (= "executable") bit.

Does the file system you use support these permissions? Probably no.

Not necessarily - the "x" bit does apply to shell scripts or other
interpreted files as well, but most people would not call these
"executables".

FAQ: For security reasons, the PATH variable in the Unix world
typically does not contain "." (= the current _directory_).
Of course, you may change it in your profile.

Only if you tell your Linux to access them read-write.
You can easily prevent any damage by setting it in your "/etc/fstab"
list - by having them mounted either read-only or not at all.
