As we try to improve staging, we're going to be working on the
assumption all packages are relocatable. If we allow disabling of this
it will break various assumptions in the code. I'd therefore suggest
you're free to do this locally but it shouldn't be an easily available
option. Building without /proc mounted is a rather specialist usecase. 

If it really worries you, mount /proc somewhere else and symlink the
bare minimum needed.
