distributed compilation with gcc: distcc

[Martin Pool]

[cc'd distcc list]

I just looked at  

  http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/gcc/gcc/gcc/Makefile.in?rev=1.912&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

which makes things a bit clearer than the parent Makefile.  

So it seems like we have to at least have the $(build_tooldir), and
the $(builddir)/stage[1234] directories shared or copied across all
the machines.  In addition, for the special case of gcc which runs its
own output, all the volunteers will need to be compatible
architectures and OSs.

I suspect the easiest thing will be to share the builddir over NFS.
Is that possible?
