Then another option is to do all of the building in a chrooted structure on the remote platform. eg: unpack your architecture's -release *tgz file sets in a directory structure on that system -- unpack and update sources, build your custom kernel and system, and then build a release. All chrooted. The drawback is you will not be able to test your kernel, since you don't have a spare platform (or virtual platform) to test with. You will need to do this in a filesystem that was was mounted without the nodev option.
