I don't know if this went anywere, ie setting up distcc to build Machinekit, but with all the other ARM stuff going on around the world(rPi, etc) cross compiling came up and as usual up came requirements for native building of some parts and I mentioned distcc. While I missed the news in 2018 distcc was updated to v3.3 in 2018.
