Well, firstly I wanted to introduced the NO_INSTALLCHOWN variable as I said in my previous mail, preventing install(8) from doing a chown(2) on the installed file (kernel or module). But I finally decided to use a variable named INSTALLCHOWN which will contain "-o user -g group". This is more flexible and reduces the patch to its simplest form. As Ryan Sommers stated, this patch is not mandatory but I will leave it online [1] as it can be useful for some people.
