You should incorporate the rule to always work as normal user only, and only in the very few cases where you really need root permissions (like when installing code into system direcotries or loading kernel modules) you should use "sudo" or similar. Short answer: all compilations and all other building of sowtare should always be done as normal user only, and never ever as root.
