+distcc is a program to distribute compilation of C or C++ code across
+several machines on a network. distcc should always generate the same
+results as a local compile, is simple to install and use, and is often
+two or more times faster than a local compile.
+
+distcc does not require all machines to share a filesystem, have
+synchronized clocks, or to have the same libraries or header files
+installed. Machines can be running different operating systems, as long
+as they have compatible binary formats or cross-compilers.
