Linux people generally recommend that you do not compile source code
with a user that has superuser privileges, which I assume is a guard
against possibly malicious commands that may be in the compile
scripts. When I install packages with macports (sudo port install
xyz) they're compiled by the root user. I assume that the developers
have thought about this and decided that it is not a security
problem. But I am curious, is it ok or not ok to compile source code
as root?
