There are two variables that you will need to set: the directory
where the build happens, and the one where the result from that
build will be written to. The solution is quite simple, and of
course already present in the build infrastructure:

Set MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX and DESTDIR to locations where your $USER
has write access.
