Normally this would work, when the build machine and the install
machine are the same computer.  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.
