I cannot reproduce the "Incorrectly thinks it's building as root"
problem. When I try the build fails with
    checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: in `/tmp/buildd/ocaml-lame-0.3.0':
    configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile
    See `config.log' for more details
    make: *** [debian/stamp-autotools] Error 1
