That doesn't work if you don't have space on the embedded device. Some don't have resources to network mount, and builds take days (literally).
I can build cross-toolchains, but then often ./configure fails even if I specify host, target, etc. right.
There are usually a bunch of libs, few of which build right either.
Maybe you have a MIPS system that has a full distro, lots of memory, and is fast. I don't.
