Hi, I hope this is the correct place to send this. |

I have setup distcc in my network. Most of the hosts are i686, but one of them |
| 4 |
is x86_64. I wish to distribute tasks to the i686 machines from the x86_64 |
| 5 |
machine. This involves installing a cross compiler on the i686 machines for |
| 6 |
x86_64 tasks. Crossdev is overkill for this - I don't actually _need_ glibc |
| 7 |
and the like on the client machines for a simple distcc environment. It |
| 8 |
really adds to the upgrade time when emerge sync; emerge worlding. |

The attached patch makes gcc *only* generate the compilers - no libstdcc++, no |
| 11 |
libgcc, nothing else - this is all you need for distcc. Likewise, compiling |
| 12 |
gcc with this patch needs only binutils - no linux-headers, and no glibc. |

I was considering patching the gcc ebuild to add a new option - e.g. "minimal" |
| 15 |
to apply this patch - but I've no idea if you would be interested in this |
| 16 |
feature. Please let me know if you are, and I'll develop it further if so. |
