Hey, give me some credit :)
[asuardi@dolphin linux]$ /bin/pwd

[asuardi@dolphin linux]$ cat compile.h

I'm saying "doesn't happen for me" because it doesn't happen.
I've been compiling kernel as non-root (and well, of course
installing as root) since 1996.
I'll admit I checked only the files I cut'n'pasted last mail,
well let's be honest then...
[asuardi@dolphin linux]$ /bin/pwd
/usr/local/src/linux-2.5.25
[asuardi@dolphin linux]$ find . -user root -print
[asuardi@dolphin linux]$
See, *no* root-owned files here. Usual process is
* save previous kernel's .config
* zap previous kernel tree
* untar the previous kernel tree in /usr/local/src
* patch -p1 it with current kernel patch
* create new kernel tarball
* copy over saved .config
* make oldconfig
* make dep; make clean; make bzImage; make modules
* (wait for next kernel patch ;)
