Hi, To put it simply: when it is about being root, the question should not be "why not be root" but "why be root". If you can do it as a normal user, you should.
Concretely, there is a bug somewhere in the generated configure script that erases /dev/null. If run as root, this is REALLY annoying. If run as a normal user, nothing happens. Building (make && make doc) should also be done as non-priviledged user. Only make install requires root priviledges.
