This is/could actually be a bug in make, or rather an autoconf script 
that make uses. On some systems it mistakenly convinces make that it 
should be a setgid program. I should have submitted a patch for this, 
but I've never gotten around to it. Although I did report it on 
bug-make, so perhaps someone has fixed it.
