I suppose the idea is to use distcc and a crosscompiler - that way
the .c files are compiled to .o on a fast architecture with a
crosscompiler, but the configure scripts, linker and so on run natively.

I have not yet tried this setup in practice, but it might at least be
a possibility worth looking at.
