Build _on_ a thumb drive? How many days are you willing to wait? And are you willing to sacrifice the life time of it, as a build is heavily i/o bound? Or did you mean just the system on the thumb drive and build on a hard disk? Given enough RAM so that the needed executables and header files are cached that might be possible, never tried that.
