Yes, this is a multi user installation.

Lazarus tests before compiling a package if the output directory is 
writable and if not redirects to a sub directory of its config directory.
This is a feature of the IDE and lazbuild.
The makefiles do not support this, so a "make" fails.
If you want to compile lazarus with make, use a git clone of the lazarus 
repository.
