Why be root at all? I've always built kernels as a user, and only
the final make install need be root. Even neater with Debian's
make-kpkg, just say
  make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot kernel-image

and then as root, or sudo, dpkg -i /your/kernel/image.deb
Requires that the kernel sources be owned by the user, of course.
