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

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.

Alexander
