What I do is create /usr/src and /usr/obj as their own 1.5 GB partitions. That is 4-5x larger than I need. Then, I can NFS_mount them on any system as /usr/src and /usr/obj. You don't have to play games with names, DESTDIR, or etc. For the purpose of build speed I put them on HDs with their own UDMA controllers.
