If you try then you get this:
$ ./prog

|Sorry, you don't have permission to run this program. |
|Try running as root, e.g. precede the command with sudo. |

Failed to initialise GPIO.

As far as I can tell only root can execute the programme unless you
$ sudo chown root prog
$ sudo chmod u+s prog

Yes, you need root permission.
