If you can't put together "none of the normal build should require it" and
the standard advice of "don't run anything as root unless it requires it"
(you *are* aware that's standard advice, right?) to get "therefor, don't
build it as root, since root isn't required", you probably shouldn't be
doing *anything* as root.
