Hello again Kai,

As previously mentioned, distcc turned out not to be of any improvement 
over my initial cross compile attempts.

I also tried qemu which wasn't much of an improvement over compiling 
natively on my ARM device.

I have eventually succeeded in cross compiling on my x86_64 desktop and 
although it's not as fast as a 5 minute native compile, I'll settle for 
14 minutes as opposed to over 2 hours.

Thanks for the input.

Cheers,
Mike.
