Hi, i've seen that net-misc/netkit-rsh-0.17-r8 ebuild doesn't compile using distcc and 2 hosts external hosts, 1 x86 + 1 x86_64, because the configure script sets the C compiler (CC) executable to "gcc". It would be, for a i686 system, "i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc", so the distcc x86_64 hosts can handle correctly the job. Here's a little patch to fix this behaviour.

there is already a tc-export CC line in there that can be used instead should be fixed in cvs http://sources.gentoo.org/net-misc/netkit-rsh/netkit-rsh-0.17-r8.ebuild?r1=1.10&r2=1.11
