In case I wasn't clear in my other email, what you should be paying
attention to are the instructions under 'Configuring distcc to
cross-compile correctly'.

Of course, the instructions are just an example and you should
substitute the correct triplet (i.e. 'sparc-unknown-linux-gnu' should
become 'i486-pc-linux-gnu').

FYI, environment values take priority over those in make.conf, so you
can just override FEATURES for the current build by putting it on the
command line:

$ FEATURES=-distcc emerge klibc
