I used to build all the weird-ass ports locally over nfs on a shared
source tree but gave up with the various changes that broke that. Anyway
disk space is so relatively insanely cheap now that the space saving
side of things doesn't matter much. There even used to be a common[.pro]
output dir at one stage for arch independent output so slower arches
could skip building those (?) but that went away years ago I think.
