In my opinion, this is not much of an issue; since you have to provide -s explicitly, the user knows he is invoking sudo, and can do sudo -v by hand if it will be an issue. Besides, it is possible that a long compile could exceed the sudo validation time, so you can't guarantee your ticket will even be valid when sudo is reinvoked!
