I know something diferent. DistCC sends preprocesed files (.i) and assembler
files (.s), so it is not needed to have the include files. Just need to send
that files, asemble it and re-send an object file. Here is where the
crosscompiling plays... You can compile code for sparc in an ppc and
viceversa.. :)
