Re: [gentoo-dev] Patch for absolute minimal GCC for distcc environment

[Ioannis Aslanidis]

You do not need to use a cross compiler. The i686-pc-linux-gnu is
included in the toolchain. What you will have to do is to correct all
the i686 machines that erroneously call gcc instead of
i686-pc-linux-gcc. You will also have to append -m32 to your CFLAGS as
a workaround to some bug. Finally you will see that there are several
packages that will not compile with distcc if you have an amd64
compiling too.
