Up until recently, I was using an LFS partition for object directories
on my main build machine - it was quite fast, and I have no intention
of NFS exporting object directories.  But I found that the machine was
starting to hang about 4 weeks ago when 5 simultaneous cross-builds
were happening at the one time, and so I migrated the object dirs onto
an ffs+softdeps partition. I'll try again sometime soon - it looks like
there has been significant activity (thanks, yamt!) in that area. I
didn't file a PR because I was a bit busy around that time. I am SURE
that YMMV.

Regards,
Alistair
