Surprise, I was thinking about the same thing, yesterday. Basic idea:
mount the slow system's build chroot from the fast server, replace
gcc/g++/ld with scripts that call the server's version remotely. The
biggest problem will probably be (a) getting all those pathnames right.
I plan to play with the idea a bit once I get my Mac/68k running under
2.6. (I need strace to find a persistent chroot-environment problem. :-/ )
Hmm, if I bind-mount the real arch's /{lib,usr/{bin,lib}} on the server's
chroot, that'll be visible only on the server but not on the client, so a
chrooted cross-compiler should Just Work...

:bathtub curve: n. Common term for the curve (resembling an end-to-end
section of one of those claw-footed antique bathtubs) that describes the
expected failure rate of electronics with time: initially high, dropping
to near 0 for most of the system's lifetime, then rising again as it
`tires out'. See also {burn-in period}, {infant mortality}.
