> is it only security feature??? i must allow writing in this path???

Its security in several ways, this makes sure you get all files listed,
by disallowing write to all other places than the temporary directory
where you install things to, this allows good lists of files, makes sure
an ebuild doesn't do anything "bad" and simplifies making packages and
tracing changes.


I'm sure there are other things as well
