  • I was suggesting using your own binhost as an alternative to distcc.
    If someone’s considering distcc, presumably they’ve already decided not to use the public Gentoo binaries, and want to do the compilation themselves

    I think that’s more for when you have multiple machines (that would use the same USE flags) and you only want to have to compile once.

    One issue with distcc is some of the build operations can’t be delegated. If you want to minimise resource usage as much as possible (e.g. on old hardware) and want to compile yourself, then running your own binhost makes sense.
