There is unfortunately no solutions for this (except a better build system). We did some test few years ago and we spend an unnatural amount of time getting licenses. it get much worse when you really are many sharing the licenses. We modified our build system to allow multiple compiles with the same command. I don't know if this even possible with distcc. The idea is to let armcc compile multiple C files with the same command, this needs only one round trip to the license server. One of the problems is that all the object files end up in the same output directory, thank you ARM :-(. Nothing that can't be handled though. another interresting thing about the arm compiler is that when you ask it to depend C files, you get object files as a side effect. This meant that we depended our files (when necessary) and never had to compile them! We got rid of armcc and used gcc as a cross compiler. Not as good result but still very good and no 10_000$ license no more.
