Hello,

I just want to ask why make is installed sgid. I know it is installed sgid 
by default, but I haven't had any problems using make without sgid for 
years. And my gentoo box is running fine too without an sgid make.

I'm asking it because I like checkinstall (http://checkinstall.izto.org/) 
to try out programms.

And checkinstall doesn't work with a sgid make. So I haven't submit an 
ebuild for it.

Regards,

Alexander
