[gentoo-user] Kernel source (gentoo-sources) ignore CC=

[Dan Egli]

Hey all. I have an OLD laptop that I'm trying to compile the latest 
Gentoo for (don't ask, it's a long story). To help speed things up, I 
installed distcc on the laptop and on another linux computer. But when I 
try to compile the kernel source into a workable kernel, it completely 
ignores the CC definition and calls i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc for it's C 
compiler. The kernel tree is too complicated for me to understand the 
make hierarchy used, so I can't look in the Makefile(s) to see if it's 
getting overridden somewhere in there.

Short of replacing i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc with a symlink to distcc, what 
can be done to fix this?

Thanks!
