Some of the problems with NFS are already exposed, and oozing, like if
one of the machines is a lousy timekeeper, "make" will get sorely
confused. What would be really neat would be to export jobs with "rsh"
or "ssh". Consider that most of the cross-compilers and assemblers
already work; it's only the cross-linker that's a work in progess. So
you could configure and link on the target host, but do all the slow
stuff in-between on fast machines.
