Some days ago I started using ccache and distcc,
and I really love these tools. Now I want to get the
Solaris and Linux servers to do something useful
and compile world, kernels and ports for the
FreeBSD boxes. Is there a somewhat
comprehensive guide to this? Can somebody
share his experience with me? I'm now looking
into crosstool how-to's, but I have no knowledge
of gcc intrinsics, and some points are very hard
for me to understand.

Thanks,

Have you looked at http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/projects/other/distcc-31.0.81/linuxdoc/html/distcc-5.html It hints that you need to install a gcc that was built for your target system on all machines that you're using. I think distcc handles library inconsitencies for you (at least it claims that you need not have the same libraries installed on all machines).

HTH,
Micah
