No root permissions are required to build U-Boot.

And if somebody told you to use sudo for  this  purpose  then  he  is
definitely not entitled to be called "expert".

This is an indication of a broken version of the "make" tool on  your
system. Debian is known to have this problem, and probably Ubuntu has
inherited the broken version from there.
