Files getting 'x' permission installing packages in Cygwin

- Subject: Files getting 'x' permission installing packages in Cygwin
Just a curiosity.
Is it 'normal' that, when one installs packages, files, like *.a, *.h,
*.README etc. (i.e. files that normally are not executables), acquires the
'x' permission ?
In the tar ball of the corresponding packages they do not have 'x'!
Could this have to do with 'setup.exe' (I am using 2.558 snapshot) ?
Thanks,
Angelo.
