I think the -B or --buildpkgonly option is not enough, as there might be case,
where you'd like to build a package, which conflicts with another one.

Example:
I have mozilla-firebird-bin installed, and I'm going to build the source as a
package. Emerge suggests to uninstall the bin first, and then emerge the
source-ebuild.
Problem: You won't have a browser during that time.
Solution: Some kind of ignore&buildpkgonly option would be nice.

Another solution would be to ignore the conflicts.

I haven't seen this as a feature yet... Maybe in future?

Reproducible: Always

emerge --nodeps --buildpkgonly should work
