Ok, but I would strongly suggest not building as root. Several packages behave
differently when built as root (E.G. your npm issues), and Buildroot is
specifically made to not require root permissions and be used from normal
users. E.G. from the manual:

Important: you can and should build everything as a normal user. There is no
need to be root to configure and use Buildroot. By running all commands as a
regular user, you protect your system against packages behaving badly during
compilation and installation.
