It would pretty much have to >= 3.2, or else you would have to install the gcc/binutils toolchain, then compile the 3.2 toolchain & install from there on. AFAIK all Gentoo 1.4RC install CDs are based on 3.2, and all 1.2 CDs were based on 2.95.xx I am pretty sure that distcc works by sending "compile" units to other machines, ie the c or cpp file gets pre-processed on the main machine, the resulting file gets set to a distcc machine which generates an object file. The object file gets sent back to the main machine to be linked. So on slow machines the link step becomes the slow part of the equation. Obviously the object files need to be able to be linked together, which is why gcc2.95 & gcc3.2 won't play well with each other.
