You shouldn't need to if all the source files are owned by the account
doing the compiling. Only when it comes to make install and
module_install do you need to be root.

It's probably not your fault. I suspect you have a fairly recent gcc and
they made the option spec fall in with the standard, e.g. -v for the
short option, --verbose for the long option.
