Do not do this, it is a terrible idea. Create a user account and build
there.

You are right Philip, for building with yocto/bitbake it is a bad idea. I only read the part with becoming root, and forgot that I do not build as root.

However,  to be able to build a usable file system that installs on target I think installing fakeroot is necessary:
$ sudo apt-get install fakeroot 
$ man fakeroot

Yocto includes pseudo which handles the things fakeroot does and a bit more

Why do you want to?  Yocto is perfectly complete building as
any [normal] user.  Are you having issues with that?
