I've found it. Make needs sgid root to access /dev/kmem to obtain the 
system load for option -l (see tests/README).

But because this seems to be the only reason for the sgid, and I believe 
that almost nobody ever uses this option, I vote for a installation of make 
without sgid.

Regards,

Alexander
