... except when I did this earlier this week when building a slink
chroot, my machine fell over, and doing a ps hung it more or less
completely until I could get home and do a hard reset. I suspect my
kernel (2.4.0-test2) was less than happy about one filesystem being
mounted in two places.
It may work for some people, and I know it's worked for me before, but
it's something to be careful about. If you're only installing the base
system and build-essential packages then you don't need /proc anyway.
