Subject: .tmp_depmod owned by root after modules_install

Hi,

when building a kernel with O=$DIR, I noticed that "modules_install" now 
creates files under $DIR as root:

$ sudo make -C /usr/local/src/linux-2.6-git O=$HOME/trash/tmp/. modules_install
[...]

When trying to build a new kernel, removing $DIR as a normal user does no 
longer work as everything under $HOME/trash/tmp/.tmp_depmod/ is now owned 
by root (because of the "sudo"). This did not occur before and may be a 
consequence of:

    kbuild: Hack for depmod not handling X.Y versions

Can this be changed somehow so that "make modules_install" does not write 
anything under $DIR, as before?

Thanks,
Christian.
