The closest replacement for stretch's "su" (change PATH but do not change working directory) is "sudo -s". If you want to replace the "su" in this workflow: make make check su make install ... you want "sudo -s". "su -" or "sudo -i" changes your working directory as well as your PATH. In some cases, that may be desirable, but in others it's not.
