In my testing I found that distcc is extremely unreliable at this |
| 14 |
point. It might be a nice option to have available but I highly |
| 15 |
reccomend not using it for bootstrap, etc. Even on things that look to |
| 16 |
be compiling properly there have been some problems. This ws with 4 |
| 17 |
different versions of distcc so far, so just wanted people to be aware |
| 18 |
of this. |
