I ssh into the build machine and use whatever my favorite editor of the
moment is (vi or emancs) and modify files.  I don't understand the
problem.

I've even been known to load emacs with X11 over a dialup connection
with ssh X forwarding (20 years ago).  It took a while to start up, but
was generally pretty responsive once started.  In an environment with
flakey network, that could be painful.  GNU screen and
persistent/reconnectable screen sessions on the build machine can help
smooth things out.
