It's best if you login as root or su to root when installing these
|
||
|
|
files. That way you are assured that all files are owned by user root,
|
||
|
|
group root (and not owned by the userid of your non-root user) and if a
|
||
|
|
package wants to set special permissions it can do so without problems
|
||
|
|
due to non-root access.

If you read the documentation that comes with Glibc, Gcc and other
|
||
|
|
packages they recommend not to compile the packages as user root. We
|
||
|
|
feel it's safe to ignore that recommendation and compile as user root
|
||
|
|
anyways. Hundreds of people using LFS have done so without any problems
|
||
|
|
whatsoever and we haven't encountered any bugs in the compile processes
|
||
|
|
that cause harm. So it's pretty safe (never can be 100% safe though, so
|
||
|
|
it's up to you what you end up doing).
