Are there make variables that can be set to prevent "make world" from
installing binaries as setuid?  Currently, I always run something like
"find -perms -4000 | xargs chmod u-s" after doing a make world, but this
seems inelegant, prone to human error, and dangerous as there's a
(potentially quite long) period in which there are still many setuid
binaries....

make options to allow the prevention of "setuid root", "all setuid",
or "all setuid and all setgid" would be nice.

 that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where
 were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?"
