I think you are building with umask 0027, so files are created with no 
permissions for 'other' users.  This should not affect the contents of 
the platform-ec1c/packages/*.ipk files, or the contents of the 
platform-ec1c/root/ directory, or the contents of the 
platform-ec1c/images/root.* images, which should all contain files with 
the correct permissions for the target.

If you want the contents of platform-ec1c/packages to be created so that 
they are readable by 'other' users, you can configure your build server 
to build with umask 0022.
