Not NFS mounts, but automounters tend to get confused.  Thus this fragment,
snipped from libstdc++'s configury:

  # These need to be absolute paths, yet at the same time need to
  # canonicalize only relative paths, because then amd will not unmount
  # drives. Thus the use of PWDCMD: set it to 'pawd' or 'amq -w' if using amd.
  glibcxx_builddir=`${PWDCMD-pwd}`
  case $srcdir in
  [\\/$]* | ?:[\\/]*) glibcxx_srcdir=${srcdir} ;;
  *) glibcxx_srcdir=`cd "$srcdir" && ${PWDCMD-pwd} || echo "$srcdir"` ;;
  esac

So I guess srcdir needs to stay unchanged.  However, INSTALL does need to be
fixed, somehow; that's the actual bug.  (The srcdir thing just caught my
attention.)
