Is there a better way to setup Eclipse CDT for local editing and remote building?

I am working on a C++ project that uses GNU make in Linux. The code is under CVS on a Linux server.

When I'm in the lab, I use Eclipse CDT on a Linux-x64 PC. The project is built on a Linux-x86 PC. All the computers in the lab (including the CVS server) have NFS mounts.

When I'm at home, I use Eclipse CDT on a Windows 7 PC. The Windows PC connects to the Linux CVS server via SSH tunnel. To edit source, I rsync the C++ project under the Linux Eclipse workspace back to my Windows Eclipse workspace. (I can also do a remote CVS checkout on the Windows PC.) To build from home, I use a custom build command that

1. SSH's to the Linux-x86 PC,
2. rsync's the C++ project from my Windows Eclipse workspace to my Linux Eclipse workspace,
3. and then runs make on the Liunx-x86 PC, specifying the correct path for the Makefile.

In order to go back and forth between lab and home without committing my changes to CVS every time, I use rsync. When I transition from lab to home, I rsync sources to my Windows Eclipse workspace. When I build from home, the sources get rsync'd back to the Linux Eclipse workspace.

Is there a better, less wonky way to do this?

(I'm NOT interested in remote debugging.)
