Distcc seems to work for some people, but other setups have lots of
issues with it. Not all build scripts provide all of the hooks
necessary to do certain things. Sometimes there is corruption when
communicating results, or subtle flag or optimization differences that
lead to bugs.
When distcc works it works well, but a single package host may be the
more robust solution. You could write some shell script to take
/var/lib/portage/world and only build e.g. half the packages.
