Hi,

I strongly suggest *not* to use network share. We tried that several years
ago (with SMB), and it was awful. Parsing takes forever over the network.
Working locally and using rsync before build works much better (once you
have ssh keys set up).

We have a local partial copy of the sysroot, which includes the include
directory, and the shared libraries that are linked with our application
(for each platform we support).
