The paths with and without sudo are identical.
So what seemed most logical to me was that I had inadvertently used sudo
at some
point out of habit and something within the actual brltty folder was
requiring sudo. So I deleted the brltty folder and ran git clone again and
then ran the steps and sudo was not needed for make. This is probably
something I did. When the folder was in /usr/local I had to use sudo for
everything, which is usual on the Mac, so I must have slipped up and used
it again in some way that caused this problem.
The /opt would ordinarily be first with

Usually when doing compiling in my home directory it is not necessary
to use sudo for make though I do need to use it for make install. I
believe I had tried using sudo when the compile was being stopped by
errors having to do with brlapi but I think I hadn't tried that when
trying to compile with brlapi disabled or immediately after the
brlapi problem was fixed.
I just now tried running make with sudo and it compiled. So now I can
go back to using the latest git update as long as I use sudo when
running make.
Cool, but I'm still wondering why you need to be root (other than to install)
when doing a make. This shouldn't be. I'm wondering if, maybe, somethinga about
the command search path is different. Could you try making your user command
search path be the same as your root commmand search path and doing the make?
Get your root command search path with: sudo echo $PATH
Set your user command search path with: export PATH=
Verify your user command search path with: echo $PATH
So do something like this: export PATH=`sudo echo $PATH`
