I think this is backwards. The cross compiler should be on the

Check this out. Look at the line highlighted in green.
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/cross-compiling-distcc.xml
Yep, that's exactly the document I used to get cross-compiling working
with distcc
on my machines. See the paragraph near the top under the heading "Emerge
the needed utilities". The first sentence of this paragraph refers to
machines "that
will be involved in the compiling process". One might argue that both
your P4 and Opteron
machines are "involved" since the P4 calls the compiler and the Opteron
does the compiling.
But the sentence really refers to machines that will actually *do* the
compiling, i.e., your
Opteron. So you should do 2 things on the Opteron box: "emerge
crossdev" and
"crossdev -t arg" where I'm guessing "arg" is i686-pc-linux-gnu for your
P4 box.
The green highlighted stuff are things you do on the P4 box. The
explanation for
doing the green highlighted stuff is found at the end of the page under
the heading
"Why this works".

Thanks John,
Perhaps it is just me, but maybe the docs on this topic could use just
a bit more sharpening to clear things.
