I have used -b a million times. If you want to build a single package, with 
all dependencies, from source, you need it. Co-existence of -s and -b would 
make it much more useful. Actually, I used such a version when:

shakti:~$ find /server/srv/ftp/archi586/ -name '*-i586.pkg.tar.gz' | wc
   2587    2587  173147
shakti:~$     

I did not build all those packages by hand, but with the help of makepkg -b 
and makeworld. Both very useful, and both custom patched.
