Don't need to explicitly here. The consequent fall-through to
'./Customize ...' gives the adjusted 'machine.h'; cf/re not running as set*id.
(Or you can just modify machine.h directly after the main ./Configure ).

Indeed, 'LOL' while recommending folks install as set*id; even moreso as it's
not really needed. (Lsof 'needed' [even though it didn't really] set*id even
while containing (thus-)rootable exploits). General default re set*id should
be no unless strong (which includes/implies known, understood) reason to
enable. Why do you need/want set*id ?
