The way GCC handles precompiled header files is extraordinarily sensitive to the layout of data structures, even down to kernel-level bitfields, so anything other than the same build of the OS is a risk for crashing during distributed compilation.
I've seen you mention this before. Why is that? It seems like some sort of intermediate representation would make more sense than just a straight memory dump.
Then distcc could work with machines that had different kernel bitfields, among other things.
It's the way the gcc community decided to implement precompiled headers. We're painfully aware of its limitations.
