[distcc] compiling with distcc on x86_64 from within a 32-bit chroot?

[Audio Phile]

I think I have this solved.  I wrote up the steps on the Arch Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Distcc#Cross_Compiling_with_Distcc_in_a_Chroot

In a nut shell, the strategy is to have two instances of distccd running (on different ports). One runs in the native x86_64 environment and the other in the x86 chroot.

Is there a more elegant solution involving only one instance of distccd?
