[Samba] Building as non-root user

Are there any drawbacks to building SAMBA as a user other than root?  I would 
like to build using a different account.  But USING SAMBA 2nd Edition says, 
"Before running the configure script, it is important that you become the root 
user on the system."  The "make" examples in both USING SAMBA and SAMBA HOWTO 
also use the root user.
