If we made it possible to build the world in a custom prefix, many organizations would benefit from it. I started a test build like that in a VM, and I plan on having a stab at it, just because it's interesting.

If there is interest and we join forces, we have a better chance of succeeding. The success could be defined as a set of packages (coreutils, etc) that successfully build under a custom prefix, and work.

I am interested in this. Additionally, some kind of userspace package manager would be
really cool.
