Bootstrapping makes distcc impossible, and you can't bootstrap these days
without building C and C++. Even if you're not bootstrapping, the back and
middle ends are shared. You have to build them to build the front-ends. Maybe
you could cut out a couple of the target libraries, so you're really not gaining
much.
If the build times really get to you then you could try something like:
GCC_MAKE_TARGET="all" EXTRA_ECONF="--disable-bootstrap" \
emerge -av1 sys-devel/gcc:4.8
distcc should work for most of the build (the target libs must be built with
the just-built compiler so that can't be distributed).
Anyways, assuming we can't split out fortran, would you be for or against
enabling it by default? I'm good either way.
