distcc+crosscc is my favorite as well. It's fast, it's cheap (in terms of
CPU overhead) and it's fairly extensible (adding more distcc hosts).
I think aranym is great for DDs and for installation tests, etc...

Well, concerted attempt... what do we have and what do we need for some
m68k+distcc+crosscc? What needs to be changed within the buildd chroot?
I once installed a buildd-distcc chroot, but moved that out of the way
because diskspace was low on vivaldi (and my crosscc on the distcc host
didn't work)...
