I searched for an answer but didn't see one. Can anyone say if Xcode
will be able to distribute builds among PPC *and* Intel in the
somewhat near future? I seem to remember reading that it was a
problem with one of the lower level executables that handles the
distributed builds, and not an Xcode problem.
It is a problem with the compiler; the PCH file format is not
portable across architectures. As a result, it is unlikely that this
could be fixed for DistCC simply because DistCC has no mechanism for
distributing pre-compilation and, thus, it would be a huge amount of
work to add distribution of the pre-compilation phase to foreign
architectures for DistCC.
DNB, however, is significantly more flexible in this regard and we are
investigating potential solutions to the issue.
