Building packages for another computer

Trying to emerge large packages on my PII laptop is becoming tedious,
so I would like to build the packages on my faster Athlon desktop,
then emerge them on my laptop. I was thinking that I could use
something like this:


# source /path/to/laptop/make.conf && emerge -B packagename


I think that this command should force emerge to use the CFLAG, CHOST,
and USE variables from the laptop's make.conf. Then, I could export
via NFS the directory containing the .tbz2 files to the laptop, then
emerge them on the laptop.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this approach?


Thank you in advance for you help,



Matt

I apologize for responding to my own post, but I wanted to clarify
that I would run this command on the desktop.
