Fakeroot is just what it says -- fake.  It makes the program *think*
it has root privileges, but doesn't fool the kernel.

On the other hand, it looks like you *do* have the proper permissions
for those directories, so the delusions caused by fakeroot shouldn't
matter.  I'm not quite sure what's going on, but I might suggest
removing the /tmp/linux tree and trying again.  You also might try
killing any running faked processes.
