You shouldn’t need sudo for this. What’s probably happening is the Makefile you end up running doesn’t do what you think it does at all and ends up clearing header files to rebuild them then dies.
Removing sudo will at least give you an indication of what’s going on by the means of permission errors. Find out why it’s trying to modify files it shouldn’t. And it’s also a great example of why you shouldn’t compile anything as root, not even for building packages. Not even building kernel modules requires root, only installing them and loading them.
