good point.  *blush*

What I curretly do is export the RFS directory as an NFS mount point and
then am able to mount it from within an ARM QEMU session and also mount the
same export on target device.  Admittedly, my NFS RFS its not my buildroot
RFS right at the moment, just a core Debian one, I just haven't gotten
around to exporting and trying the BR one yet.
