Easy:
A binary distro dumps a load of files on the disk, and apart from an
optional pre- or post-install script, that's the entire install .
Gentoo is a SOURCE distro. It compiles stuff, and the stuff it links to
MUST be on the disk before the linker will link it. If B depends on A,
make B will fail if the required files in A are not present.
