Installing to a different ROOT
''We can use these tools for both installing into your development root (sysroot) and into your runtime root. For the latter, simply specify by using the --root option.''

The part about installing to a different ROOT looks like it is not valid anymore, since EAPI 7 enforces that SYSROOT must match ROOT when cross-compiling

It is still possible to do this if both `--root` and `--sysroot` options are given, but the target directory should have /etc/portage/make.profile link.

Should it be updated?
