Try this:
/export/sources/gdb-5.0/configure --prefix=... --target=arm-elf
make
make install

I build with source and target on nfs all the time from several
different platforms and so do a lot of people I know.

You can do this with gdb because it's one big executable that doesn't
reach out for other files. I don't recommend it though.
