Ok, playing a bit I found out that changing opt and usr directories' 
permission to a+rx apparently solved the problem.
In the recipe there was though a "chmod -R a+rX usr/share" command, 
which honestly I couldn't understand.
Now permissions look like these in the sources directory

drwxr-sr-x 2 macco sys 4096 2008-03-14 21:44 licenses
drwxr-sr-x 3 gobo  sys 4096 2008-05-10 10:03 opt
drwxr-sr-x 2 macco sys 4096 2008-03-14 21:44 readmes
-rwxr-xr-x 1 gobo  sys 7770 2008-05-10 10:05 rpmoffset
drwxr-sr-x 3 macco sys 4096 2008-03-14 21:44 RPMS
-rwxr-xr-x 1 macco sys 3925 2008-03-14 21:44 update
drwxr-sr-x 4 gobo  sys 4096 2008-05-10 10:04 usr

and Compile can easy install the program.

It remains the fact, as you pointed out, that in the previous case also 
compiling as root gave problems. Permissions was like these:

drwxr-sr-x 2 macco sys 4096 2008-03-14 21:44 licenses
drwx--S--- 3 gobo  sys 4096 2008-05-10 10:11 opt
drwxr-sr-x 2 macco sys 4096 2008-03-14 21:44 readmes
-rwxr-xr-x 1 gobo  sys 7770 2008-05-10 10:11 rpmoffset
drwxr-sr-x 3 macco sys 4096 2008-03-14 21:44 RPMS
-rwxr-xr-x 1 macco sys 3925 2008-03-14 21:44 update
drwx--S--- 4 gobo  sys 4096 2008-05-10 10:11 usr

Note the capitalized S for usr and opt group permissions. I can't really 
figure out the problem.
Anyway I think Lucas' observation is indeed valid.
