Why is it a PitA? Because you're philosophically opposed to it? Or
because it has failed to build a kernel or created a "bad" kernel?
Are you building a kernel or a kernel package?
If you're building a kernel, you only root privs for the 'make
modules_install" and "make install" steps.
If you're building a package using "make deb-pkg", pass
"KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD=fakeroot" for fakeroot to be used when needed.
If you're building a package using "dpkg-buildpackage", fakeroot is
used when needed.
You can also use "KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD=sudo" or "dpkg-buildpackage
-rsudo" for sudo to be used rather than fakeroot but I've never tried
either.
