Also, can the gentoo build work via distcc?
I looked deeper into the Gentoo distcc build and it looks like it might not be very easy. They require (correctly) a hardened version of the compiler if I under stood corretly and trying to ensure N machines with M distors have the right compilers would be unreallistic.
the hardened features are just propolice support (which is built into all of Gentoo by default now) in practice, you just need the same compiler version (gcc-3.3.3 with gcc-3.2.3 will probably get you in trouble) ... some ebuilds misbehave and append non-standard flags, but i'm working with people on fixing those -mike
