This was compiled directly on the BBB using a NFS share for the rootfs. As
we're compiling directly on the BBB, it may be wise to consider using an
NFS share for your rootfs while doing so ( lots of writting to disk ). You
should be able to compile using an sdcard, but do so at your own risk. I
would definitely advise not doing so on the eMMC if you care about it.

Another option would be to mount an NFS share at /home, then make
absolutely sure you are compiling somewhere on that share. Information
about how to achieve this is all over the web so I wont cover it( mounting
/home from an NFS share that is ). An iSCSI or AoE mount would work fine
too.
