Hello,

Since I discovered that clang can act as a cross-compiler (generating "foreign" 
object, .o , files), I have a renewed interest in distcc. I'm doing rather 
large builds on a Linux box, and the distcc I have on there is capable of a 
so-called pump mode in which the precompile step is also delegated to the 
slaves, via a header file server. It also has lzo compression.

Is there a reason for this? (I could also ask this way: why provide a port 
that's less functional than what the OS vendor provides already?) The zeroconf 
feature isn't very important to me, but the pump and (thus) compression 
features are, as they allow to delegate (parallelise) even more intensive tasks 
to the slaves.
