[distcc] Cygwin and DISTCC: how do i point cygwin's distcc to the crosscompiler?

[Ryan Churches]

well i found a fellow named Dan Kegals website http://kegal.com and he
makes a crosscompiler script for *nix platforms that will build one to
your liking. so i installed it, and it built the cross compiler in a
few hours. very automagic when used with wget.

my problem is that i still dont understand how regular compilers work,
must less cross compilers, so while my distcc on my cygwin box is
receiving packages, i dont know how to tell it how to use my cross
compiler.

it says when the compile fail:

i notice that the script seemed to make my crosscompiler on cygwin in
/opt/crosstool/i686-unknown-pc-linux/gcc-3.3.5-glibc-2.3.2/. now how
do i tell the cygwin install of distcc to use that compiler?
