You have to allow sudo without entering a password to use this document (to build Emacs)? I wonder if gksudo could not be used instead…

The issue with using gksudo is that it's a GTK application, and it drags in with it a ton of dependencies. The document (which does indeed build Emacs) needs to be able to run on server distros which do not have any GUI applications installed.
