Hence, to distribute this compilation with distcc, you'll need to send the (stage1 compiled) GCC binaries on the network, and distcc is not able to send binary programs. (If you'll extend distcc to send binary programs - a non trivial task -, you open a new can of worms, and you'll need to tackle potential security issues). So a distributed build has to also distribute files, for example by sharing a common distributed file system. OF course details are complex.
