Cross compile systemtap

I am able to compile and run most of the scripts listed in
https://sourceware.org/systemtap/examples/index.html

My question is why we need "sudo" permission for compiling systemtap??

This link https://sourceware.org/systemtap/SystemTap_Beginners_Guide/cross-compiling.html
talks only about deploying in similar systems.

But I'm compiling in X86 and running in ARM.

For running a systemtap generated module, it is good to protect only
for privileged user. Is there any specific reason for need of sudo
permission during compile time also???

Jey
