Sometimes an ebuild needs to run scripts from the package's tarball for |
| 11 |
installation or something like that. Many people have an extra partition |
| 12 |
for /tmp that is mounted noexec to give people less opportunity to mess |
| 13 |
around with the system (for example build weird binaries for local root |
| 14 |
exploits). |

Apart from that it's often useful to have all ebuild-related stuff in |
| 17 |
one place (/tmp/ is often messy as hell so having a "special tmp" for |
| 18 |
building sounds like a good idea, especially if things go wrong and you |
| 19 |
need to check why). |
