The main thing that is specific to gcc in distcc is arg.c, which understands gcc command-line arguments. For example, it knows that the -M option means to generate dependencies instead of compiling. On other compilers the options may be different. Depending on how different your compiler is from gcc, you might need to change or replace this routine. Also, some compilers may not have features that distcc needs -- for example they might not be able to take preprocessed source as input (tinycc?), or they might depend on reading other files in the working directory (Sun cc?). If you want to do this, please let us know so that any other interested people can work with you.
