I haven't tried that, but maybe it would be worth to give it a shot: Can we use the Tools cross-gcc as a backend to distcc on a fast amd64 host and use that either on a VAX to compile stuff, or even for cross-building pkgsrc packages on an amd64 host? I've never been in that route and don't know anything about whether that's already working / supported. MfG, JBG --
