I'm pretty sure that the only thing that matters is that the target is supported on all the workers. That said, I've never tried to use distcc with cross-compiling or even a 32/64-bit mix on the same major arch. My understanding is that the preprocessing is all done on the target machine, and the remote workers take all their marching orders from there. The contents of CFLAGS, libraries, and so on don't matter on the workers. You can build a program that requires qt using distcc workers that don't have qt installed, because all the includes are already resolved by the time the source code reaches them and linking is done later. I'm sure there are others around here with far more distcc experience. -- Rich
