I set this on in the user chroot on aahz using my notebook as crosscompiler,
I don't have anything faster currently. It seems to work, I've test-built
two small packages. But since a buildd is running in the background, it is
hard to judge how fast this is. What would be a good test, building
linux-2.6 maybe? I know how fast it is when I cross-compile it, and I have
some idea how slow it is, when I compile it natively, so maybe I'll give
that a try. I have the feeling starting a second buildd in parallel which
uses the crosscc setup would slow everything down.

Thanks,
Christian
