This appears to be really old. I suggest looking at http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ and "make-kpkg" from "kernel-package". These are the two approaches I know of.

So you used your regular user to compile the kernel. But a deprecated place for it. Just compile the kernel from a directory in your home directory.
