13 What I can say now is:
14
15 * Yes, technically it is possible:
16 Here we have some distcc-servers running on ia64-hpux, with
17 cross-compilers for hppa-hpux, x86-linux, x86-solaris,
18 sparc-solaris, (and theoretically ppc-aix).
19 We did not use crossdev to set them up.
20 The cross-hppa-hpux-gcc only works because its built on hpux,
21 even if its ia64-hpux.
22
23 * There's no need to have distccd running as root or some
24 special-named user, although it is running as root here, because
25 we've added it as hpux-service to get it up automatically at
26 system startup.
27
28 * No, it's not in prefix-gentoo yet.
29 Above setup is done using something like prefix-launcher.
30
31 * Yes, it will go into prefix-gentoo, but I've no idea when and
32 how.
33
34 * I've not looked at crossdev yet, although I think it's mainly
35 designed for linux-targets.
