Looking through the build log, I see the system compiler is being used. This indicates that the SDK is not properly initialized.

(Why would ADIPLS try to "build" the makefile header?) It also isn't clear that this has anything to do with `sudo`. Can you explain precisely what you've done to try to build MESA, and attach the full `build.log` file that the `./install` scripts creates?
