Don't make it more difficult than it needs to be. You don't need to
run make as anyone special. Just pick a user and as that user do
the cloning so that user owns all the files, then as that same user
do:
cd vim
cd src # This is optional. I never do this.
make
sudo make install
That should install into /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/share/vim
just fine.
