I agree there's no point in using sudo, but what's the pr= oblem? You
don't need to edit the kernel sources merely to build a new kernel. You=
can build your kernel outside the tree using for example:
make O=3D/home/user/kernel/tree/ menuconfig
make O=3D/home/user/kernel/tree/


This is how I do it, too, when testing the kerne= l before I do it for real. This way, the code stays owned by root and I can= make to my hearts content, with different kernels going into different dir= ectories that I control.
