Out of curiosity, what exactly are the benefits of compiling packages in a fakeroot environment? There are a couple packages I've had to compile manually before running makepkg because they wouldn't compile in a fakeroot environment, and was just wondering what the benefits are as to why all packages are compiled in such a way (without an option to disable it).

I only know of downsside and problems doing so. Only installing needs to be done within fakeroot. Next version of pacman will support separate build and package function to solve this issue.
