distcc and cross-compiling for FreeBSD on Linux/Solaris

[Andrew P.]

Today i had success compiling:

firefox on Debian/i386 with
gcc version 3.4.5 20050821 (prerelease) (Debian 3.4.4-8)
(worked out-of-the-box)

squid on FC4/amd64 with
gcc version 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5)
(required CFLAGS+=-m32 in /etc/make.conf
on the distcc client)

Both firefox and squid work flawlessly on
FreeBSD/i386 6.0-BETA5.

My roadmap is to build world and kernel
on both Linuxes (with other gcc versions)
and then to try and do it all on Solaris 10,
sparc64.

Wish me luck :-)


Cheerz,
Andrew P.
