It's generally NOT possible to prevent root from seeing a local disk. You can, however, try to create a user-space filesystem which squashes root's access to it. I think cryptfs used to do this. The other possibility is using setfacl to achieve this effect. However, root can always call setfacl to remove whatever restrictions you add.
The long-term solution is to separate the root privilege into roles and have those roles separated through a judicious sudo configuration.

create_makefiles
CREATE_MAKEFILES() CREATE_MAKEFILES()
NAME
create_makefiles - Recreates all Makefiles beneath a directory
SYNOPSIS
create_makefiles [dir]
DESCRIPTION
create_makefiles recreates all Makefiles in dir and its (recursed) subdirectories from the corresponding Makefile.am templates.
This script must be run from the toplevel directory (the one containing configure). This script saves time compared to re-running configure
completely.
If the source directory is different from the build directory (see the environment variables below), it will be assumed that each
Makefile.am and Makefile.in belongs beneath the source directory and that each Makefile belongs beneath the build directory.
This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.
ENVIRONMENT
One of the following variables (but not both) should be set if the source directory is different from the build directory. If the build
directory is simply a subdirectory of the source directory, the simpler variable OBJ_SUBDIR should be used.
OBJ_SUBJDIR
Indicates that the build directory is in the given subdirectory of the source directory. For instance, if the source directory is
kdesdk and the build directory is kdesdk/obj-i386-linux, then OBJ_SUBDIR should be set to obj-i386-linux.
OBJ_REPLACEMENT
A sed expression that is used to transform the source directory into the build directory. For instance, if the source directory is
kdesdk/obj-i386-linux, then OBJ_REPLACEMENT should be set to s#kdesdk#kdesdk-obj#.
