Just in passing, you don't need to be root to build packages.  You do
have to be root to install them, but, at installation time, if the
effective uid is not 0, then su(1) will be invoked by default.

However, I think we'll need some more information if we're going to
track down this one.

Can you show us the results of "make PKG_DEBUG_LEVEL=2", please? That
should show a huge amount of debugging output, and it's much easier to
isolate the problem.

Thanks,
