That is why I, also, prefer /usr/local/src for anything I am compiling
manually. I make that one directory writable by super-user (me) and
compile as the super-user. Then I su to root and "make install" after
I'm sure that the compiled program is going to work. If I have to do
a "make clean" at any point, I can do that as "super-user" as well.
I keep /usr/src only for a build directory for source rpms. Mostly
because that is the default build directory for Red Hat.
