If you do things like parallel builds (-j applied to emerge, not just |
| 13 |
make), a sandbox can help keep the build environment consistent throughout |
| 14 |
a build. (And if that's not a feature that's currently in sandbox, it's one |
| 15 |
where an extension of which is being discussed in -dev right now, and being |
| 16 |
worked on by a few people.) |

The other thing sandbox gives you is some protection from badly-written |
| 19 |
build systems, such as ones which go out and modify files outside of |
| 20 |
explicitly-allowed paths and the like, or try installing files before 'make |
| 21 |
install'...that kind of thing. |
