I agree with Ian - the OpenSolaris build is not ready to be built in distributed or grid mode. Actually it is a tough task to make distributed build effective. Obviously it takes some time to distribute a job to another system. If this time is bigger than to perform this job locally, the total build time in parallel mode will be less than in distributed or grid mode. So, to win, we have to identify "big" parts, and distribute them to the grid systems (where they will be done by dmake in parallel mode). It is interesting task to try to build OpenSolaris in grid mode faster than in parallel mode, but I don't know if anybody tried to look at the OpenSolaris build process from this point of view.
