Distcc - shaves off 7 minutes

After trying to get gcc to build, have switched to the autoconf package.

Without distcc, it takes approximately 12 minutes to build. With distcc (Scotland as the server) the output is:

real 12m15.636s
user 7m7.141s
sys 5m16.847s

So essentially not much of a difference. I'm a bit surprised, as I expected the overhead of distcc to increase the build time.
