I set up a binary server on one of my real machines to service a vbox

I can't see any problem with configuring the machines in the other
direction, as well, so I can "upload" the compiled firefox and
thunderbird to the host.
Set FEATURES="buildpkg" on both machines and set up a common $PKGDIR (I
use NFS for this). Then emerge with the --se-pkg option and if a suitable
package has already been build, it will be used, saving compiling again.
--se-pkg? I don't fined that in emerge(1).
Interestingly, startpage.com took me to
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Binary_package_guide for that option, but
that page doesn't list that option ;-)
