My setup is as follow:

1. The source is on user "source".  Its home directory is on NFS and mounted
read-only as /home/source with the glibc source in g/glibc/glibc-2.18.
2. Group/other do not have write permissions for the source files.
3. The user is "build" which has its home directory on NFS mounted read only as
/home/build.  The object directory is
projects/g/glibc/glibc-2.18/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
4. The configure command is "configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
--localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-add-ons=nptl".
5. No special "make" options are being used.

The build fails on "permission denied" in the "po" subdirectory as it is
attempting to write the ".mo" files to the source directory which it cannot do
as not only are the file/directory permissions are against it (the group/other
settings are read-only) but the source directory is on read-only NFS.  At this
moment in time, I do not think it is the NFS part which is an issue, it is the
read-only source directory which appears to highlight the problem.
