Here is my pitch on the matter.

make is run as a user.

As long as the install goes in a user directory then there should be no
problem.

But if it goes in a root directory like /opt, then you need su or sudo
to install.

Ok, so run make install as root, then that kind of changes all the
permissions in the build directory. Maybe no big deal, but my
preference is to have user files owned by the user.
