Using the build directory has my preference for multiplatform compilation
We have
mypath
  |
  +--- blender, that is $NANBLENDERHOME
  |
  +--- build-sparc
  |
  +--- build-linux

Alternative, use the following from X Window, see also cleanlinks command
$ man 1 lndir
lndir  -  create a shadow directory of symbolic links to another 
          directory tree

I used NFS to allow build from others computers
