So, these files are not world readable as they should be. I bumped into this while trying to compile the kernel from user. Anyone trying to do so and trying to use one of these files is affected.

One more thing I want to recommend. Please use the tar options --owner 0 --group 0 when creating the archive. The uid/gid 1046 combination might already be present on the system(or appear in the future) and might bring security risks for the unwary.
Just don't unpack the sources as the user wanting to do the compile, then tar can't set file ownership and the permissions are okay for compiling.
