(you might want to update your Xcode command-line tools, but that's not 
the problem)

That failure is correct, since the fink package is _supposed_ to build 
as root.  I'm not sure how it's even _possible_ for you to try to build 
fink under a non-root user without modifying 
/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/finkinfo/base/fink-10.8.info and removing the 
"BuildAsNobody: false" line.  Have you made any warranty-violating 
modifications? :-)

As a workaround, see if "fink --no-build-as-nobody install fink" works.
