Here's a thought that spawned in my mind from gsbuild. You could
implement a target that switches user to run make again for only the
unprivileged parts. Something like this:
temp-tools: chapter02 chapter03 chapter04
su - $(LUSER) "make chapter05"
Then you could just lower privelages once and the build would return
after that to the privileged user. There'd probably be some more
thinking about how make would have to be invoked, but that's the idea.
This is the stuff that gets into the experimental branch and either
lives or dies.
Look at how I do CLFS build with a minimal boot. It is a 2 phase
process that dies after the boot phase build is complete and you then
have to specify the 2nd phase once you boot the partition. (although
there is nothing to stop you from trying the 2nd phase on your host
system.. it would be ugly).
I may try something later in the week/month.
