If you follow the guide word by word and do nothing more then:
Yes, as far as I understand the guide. But it is "only" root in a chroot.. I 
know that is not better at all.

Exactly that is why I work something out to use my user account inside the 
chroot. I need the 32bit chroot because I have still some programms that I 
can't get to work with multilib on Gentoo. I tried already the multilib-
overlay but that was a total failure for me. 

Oh and I do it because I really like to try new (new for me at last) stuff all 
the time, if it is complicated then it is only better.. ;-) Thats why I love 
Gentoo, you can break so much so easy :-D
