Description:   Opened: 2002-06-23 09:25 0000 
I would prefer it, if make could be installed without sgid. It seems that the 
only reasoon fffor the sgid bit is ooption -l for which make needs to access 
/dev/kmem. Because I believe that almost nobody ever uses this option, I vote 
for a installation of make without sgid. 
 
First it's allways nice to have one programm more without sgid and second 
checkinstall doesn't work with a sgid make. ;)

AFAIK, make under linux doesn't require the sgid bit because it reads from  
/proc instead. /dev/kmem isn't even owned by group kmem!

Fixed in -r4.
