Unpack downloaded tarball:
Create symbolic link to original build directory:
Start Gentoo Prefix:
Once again export $EPREFIX:
export EPREFIX="$HOME/gentoo"
Replace hardcoded path "/var/tmp/gentoo" in all text files:
grep -wlIR "/var/tmp/gentoo" $EPREFIX/ | xargs -n 1 sed -i -e 's!/var/tmp/gentoo!'${EPREFIX}/'!g'
Remove broken links from etc/make.globals, etc/make.profile and etc/make.globals
Download original bootstrap script and make him executable:
wget http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/alt/browser/trunk/prefix-overlay/scripts/bootstrap-prefix.sh?format=txt -O ./bootstrap-prefix.sh

Now is good time to setup your make.conf, after that rebuild entire system:
After rebuilding system it is safe to remove /var/tmp/gentoo link
Now you can use your custom installed Gentoo Prefix :)
