I've found it. Make needs sgid root to access /dev/kmem to obtain the |
13 |
system load for option -l (see tests/README). |

But because this seems to be the only reason for the sgid, and I believe |
16 |
that almost nobody ever uses this option, I vote for a installation of make |
17 |
without sgid. |
