Not that I'm aware of. I always build apps as a unprivileged user and I
often install apps this way. Some apps force you to do the install step
as root because they include suid/sgid executables.

You already had "openpkg" and the "install openpkg-tools" should
have added make, binutils, gcc, I guess "perl" and, of course,
"openpkg-tools". Now you can continue using "openpkg build ..."
