I am not able to reproduce your problem:
wollman at khavrinen(1485)$ cc -O -Wall foo.c
wollman at khavrinen(1486)$ ./a.out
wollman at khavrinen(1487)$ ls -lo testfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 wollman users - 0 Apr 11 18:32 testfile
I did fix a bug in your program; your call to open() was missing an
argument. However, this should have no impact on the file flags, only
the mode.
