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..
