Here's a real-life example. Compiling packages on a fast desktop for a slow
laptop.

 - I don't want to link /etc/make.conf to $LAPTOP/etc/make.conf, same going for
   /etc/portage/, etc, every time I compile something for the laptop (and not
   forget to revert the changes)
 - I don't want to chroot and build, because this takes forever
