     Uhh...WTF? 
Do you do your builds as root or something?  
 Of course I do -- doesn't everybody???

 I always log in as root on my laptop -- I don't think I have a non-root ID 
 on the thing unless it's for a daemon and has no shell. 
I *never* do unless I need to be doing maintenance. I don't want to do a
catastrophic slip or something else -- a little bit of precaution. Or, for
that matter, to run something not quite trustworthy as Mr. Big.

Plus, this is analogous to the same situation on typical consumer Windows
machines.
