Sudo generally helps here. It's even easy to put $SUDO in front of
sensible commands in build scripts and have SUDO=${SUDO-sudo} at
the beginning of the script.
Even nicer: On Debian there's a "make-kpkg" command for building or
cross-compiling a kernel source tree and creating a debian package
from the result, and it can use "fakeroot" for all of the
intermediate steps. As a result, I can build a complete kernel
package with "make-kpkg --rootcmd=fakeroot [...]" as an ordinary
user, and then later install it as root with only one command: "dpkg -
i linux-image-2.6.15-rc2_2.6.15-rc2-1_powerpc.deb".
