Ah, but with distcc you don't have that problem. It does the pre-compilation 
locally (or pushes the required headers in newer applications), just as the 
linking step. Only the actual compilation, the conversion of stand-alone code 
to an object file is done remotely. And since clang/llvm apparently has a 
compiler/assembler stage that doesn't need to be built specifically (at least 
not as long as one remains on the same architecture) that just works without 
any hassles other than ensuring that everyone builds for the same target.
