Ok now I understand you don't don't even want the user to know
that s/he is using distcc, thus the masquerade.

I'm no CMake developper but I would say that some
work because you'll have to find out this mangled compiler.

No so sure for every linux distro,
since on my fedora 7 i686 box I have:

arch is telling that the host is I686
but the only "mangled" gcc compiler is called
'i386-redhat-linux-gcc' which is a symlink to ccache.

and there is no 'i686-pc-linux-gnu'.

And I have no played with gcc installation beside
yum install gcc.
