You could install Gentoo into a directory without the build tools, but |
| 23 |
you would have to install packages and update them from a full Gentoo |
| 24 |
installation outside that directory. I've used that technique in my |
| 25 |
Docker experiments.[1] |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
emerge --root=/workdir sys-apps/busybox will install busybox and all |
| 28 |
build-time dependencies into /workdir. |
