I don't know what could have happened, but I found many files with 777 permissions.

The symlinks are normal. Symbolic links don't have real permissions[1], and delegate to the permissions on the underlying object.
The non-symlinks look wrong. If I had to guess, someone turned loose a recursive chmod 777 on /usr or maybe even on /. Are there any files under /usr that are not mode 777 for you? What commands have been run with superuser privilege recently?
[1] Some kernel-created magic symlinks follow different rules, but that does not apply to the output shown. |

Honestly, I didn't do anything.
I just recompiled the entire system on 3 pc's that I have.
I tell you that on all the pc's I found the same problem. |
