I always use "acl" as mount option.

Ok, so I tried under /cygdrive/c and the result is the same, then I
tried under an explicit noacl mount point and the result is still the
same. The file has always enough permissions and reading it is no
problem at all.
But the default Windows permissions on the parent dir of your build dir
could explain that behavior when using the noacl mount option. Noacl
means, just let Windows do what it always does and fake the permissions
rather than evaluating them from the given ACL. Remount again with "acl",
and change the permissions explicitely:
$ chown -R you.your-group .
$ chmod -R u+rw,go+r .
Also, make sure your umask is set to a useful value:
$ umask 22
