1 Is it safe to remove makecheck use flag?
2 Is it possible to disable sandbox only for glibc?

22 There have been no problem with sandbox+makecheck yet. Makecheck is a
23 glibc specific USE flag and I treated it as a protection from merging
24 disfunctional glibc compilations. The sources didn't even got unpacked
25 when it printed out the above error message. MD5s are okay. Was this
26 feature was just unfunctional until now to finally turn out, that it can't
27 be used?
28 Which way is more secure: disabling sandbox or makecheck?
