I gather the original reason (for the sanity test, as well as
these changes) is that it is better for everything under
BUILDDIR - and certainly TMPDIR to be owned by the user
running bitbake and have standard permissions, the sticky bit
itself would prevent a user running bitbake, even with +rwx
permissions, from making changes to items it might need to
manipulate, if those are not owned by this user. Similarly
setuid and setgid might propagate user/group ownerships
different from the user bitbake is running as, into BUILDDIR
and TMPDIR (and items therein).
For more info take a look at:

Perhaps there are more pressing reasons, perhaps Christopher
Larson can comment a bit on this.
Indeed, the g+s can flow down into the files put into the packages,
and then into the rootfs. I ran into a this problem quite a bit, since
my project areas are in a g+s area to keep the files accessible to the
group.
There is actually another problem here. The -R means if you do this to
an existing build directory, it takes around 10 mins on the machine I
just rebooted with a cold cache. We need to lose the -R there.
Cheers,
Richard
