But when you NFS mount the the built sources on another system it may or may not work. For example you wouldn't build the sources on a 5.x system and then NFS mount the built sources to a 4.x system. The reason is that the build system custom tailors the build tools for the 5.x system, and they will most likely not run on the 4.x system. Scot
