How will that help. It is actually trying to create a file under /usr/src while being called as a non-root user. fakeroot won't magically allow that... But as others have suggested the same thing, I am going to give it a whirl...

I'd prefer not to have to do this. I know it's an option. Else the danger exists that I get stray module trees, or that the module tree might not be in sync...
