Yeah, I've had that happen myself. It used to be that "make
modules_install" (as root, obviously) would try build a new version of the
kernel, and as a result subsequent build attempts would fail horribly
because of various random files being now owned-by-root.
I don't know if there is a whole lot we can do about it in general..
