Here's a trick to speeding up arm compiles. Install distcc on the arm
device. On your local x86 machines, install a hacked distccd that runs
an arm cross compiler.
Now you can add your x86 boxen, which tend to be faster than arm
devices, as additional build hosts, or in my case, the only build host
- I let the arm device worry about preprocessing et al and let the
desktop do the compiling.
Since there are no hacks on the arm side, this doesn't break the
"Fedora must build native" rule - as far as the arm side knows, it
*is* running native, and simply disabling distcc still works, just
slower.
Use a non-standard port for these distcc's so you won't confuse any
native distcc users.
Here's the distccd hack you need (change the path as appropriate for
your local machine):
