rebuild toolchain faster without upgrading hardware

I started looking into ways I can rebuild the toolchain faster. And I need look no further than the borders of Canberra to find:

http://distcc.samba.org/ - network distributed
http://ccache.samba.org/ - cached compiling

For distcc to work, add -j4 to relevant $MAKE in toolchain.sh and start distccd everywhere. Then build like this:

CC="ccache gcc" PSP_CC="ccache distcc psp-gcc" ./toolchain.sh

I found both tools are in fink (unstable), cygwin and debian.
