The perfect companion to distcc is ccache:

http://ccache.samba.org

It speeds up compilation by making sure that only files that need to be recompiled will be sent to distcc and gcc. For example, if you do a “make clean” followed by another make, it will not need to recompile anything if the source files haven’t changed, since everything will be in cache already.

On Debian/Ubuntu, install it using apt-get:

sudo apt-get install ccache

Then, replace “distcc gcc” in your makefile with “ccache gcc” and put this in your shell (e.g. ~/.bashrc):

export CCACHE_PREFIX=distcc

(See the ccache manpage at http://ccache.samba.org/ccache-man.html for more info on how to run both at the same time.)
