I had thought make was changing my PATH under root for some reason, but it is actually just the root login modifying it. I am trying to keep a path to my compiler when I run make with sudo so I can run 'sudo make install', but my compiler is a cross compiler in a non-standard location.
It seems this is not a make issue though. Now I just need to find the right startup script to put my path in for sudo access.
