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, Micahhome | help
