rudra,

if the compiler does not set the permissions of a final link
to be executable, than something went wrong while linking.

you'll have to delete the .x file and "make" again and watch
the output of the compilation very carefully. there have to
be some warnings or error messages. look them up in the manual
or on the web and see if you can find out what went wrong.

9 out of 10 times, it is related to an incorrect or corrupted 
installation or setup of the individual machine.

cheers,
  axel.
