It is highly recommended that you compile things in a subdirectory of 
your home directory. The point is to do as much as possible without root 
privileges. Any issues, e.g. bugs with the Makefile than ends up 
deleting files from / would have less of an impact on your system that 
way.

Of course on your own system you may do as you wish. But in a guideline 
document that inexperienced people will rely upon I think it is 
important to stick to best practices.
