Hi all,
I've been using this change locally for a few days. It
allows to just do make as a regular user without having
to remember to call it with fakeroot.

This likey doesn't cover all scenarios, e.g. I think
there would be a problem if some parts expect the fakeroot
to persist between different submake invokations.
That said, it works for me in the simple cases I frequently
use (build_{netboot,monolithic}, rebuild_netboot, clean_\
netboot, reallyclean) and does save me some typing.
What you do you guys think?
