No - I didn't touch anything related to permissions. It something to be 
expected that there is no execution permission on the root node and 
/lost+found of a "blank" filesystem (ie with erased flash)? This sounds 
surprising.

My final executable[1] is covered by the GPL and the YAFFS2 support made into a 
separate library not distributed with RTEMS. Maybe we can even merge it in 
your tree when it's done? My "glue" code is GPL too.
