Installing to a different ROOT

Talk status

This discussion is still ongoing.

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?
