Use the value of the ROOTCMD variable as a command to acquire root or fake root privileges for "make tar-pkg" et al. So now you can do $ make oldconfig rpm-pkg ROOTCMD="fakeroot -u" as a shortcut for $ make oldconfig && > make && > fakeroot -u make rpm-pkg In the future, ROOTCMD="fakeroot -u" could be set automatically when not running as root and fakeroot is found on the path, so that "make oldconfig deb-pkg" would just work without fuss.
