Edit $DESC/ls.mac and put the following around the call to instlserver

&ifdef SAPDB_INTERNAL
!$TOOL/bin/instlserver
&endif

instlserver does a chown root + chmod +s. But running as root is 
generally not necessary for lserver and dbmsrv when developing. And 
because instlserver has to suid root as well, building it can't be 
integrated easily into the ./configure & make anyway, so I've decided to 
leave it out.
