Re: Distributed build overhead and Mac Mini vs XServe pricing

To be specific, in order to use distributed builds, the machines must have the same:

1) OS Version (we compare the Darwin version strings)
2) compiler version (gcc-3.3 version string comparison)
3) distcc version (here we compare the protocol version)

I'm not sure I understand the rationale for #1: As I understand it, the distributing machine does all the preprocessing and the worker machines contribute nothing more than gcc and CPU time. In particular, the headers on the worker machines are not used. Hence, why should there be a need to check anything other than compiler version? (And, presumably, a check that the worker can compile for the correct architecture...)

As for distcc protocol version: Is there a protocol other than 1? Though I suppose it is a good thing to check...
