[distcc] distributing preprocsessing

[Christian Gerlach]

Hello,

I am working for a company which is currently using teambuilder for
distributed compile jobs. We have lots of really fast machines and a common
NFS-share for our homes.
I have now tried using distcc in combination with ccache and I am really
impressed. The problem which I see (teambuilder has this too) is that the
preprocessing is only done by one machine.

My question is:
Is there any chance to distribute the preprocsessing step?
Using:
- The same system/compiler
- NFS share
Is this possible and do you see any benefits?
Maybe I am completely wrong.

Any ideas?

regards
Christian
