Thanks, applied.

Actually, I have removed all HAVE_UMASK tests.  There is no system that
I know of that doesn't have umask, and disabling this code can have
security consequences so it is better if we get reports regarding
systems that doesn't have umask.  Even GNU CoreUtils uses umask
unconditionally, and it has been widely ported, so I don't expect many
problems.
