Don't run builds as root in the user namespace

This largely reverts c68e5913c7. Running
builds as root breaks "cp -p", since when running as root, "cp -p"
assumes that it can succesfully chown() files. But that's not actually
the case since the user namespace doesn't provide a complete uid
mapping. So it barfs with a fatal error message ("cp: failed to
preserve ownership for 'foo': Invalid argument").
