distcc acts as a front end to the [GCC] suite and uses compilers on other boxes on your network to speed compilation.
To use you need to install the distcc [Package] on each machine and do some setup. This is fairly well documented on the web so I won't repeat here (i.e. I am lazy).
-When I compile software with three (slow) machines I do the following: %%%
-=
make -j6 CC='distcc'= %%%

make -j6 CC='distcc'</tt>

The -j6 is to tell make to use 6 parallel tasks (recommended is 2 per CPU).
This works brilliantly for most programs.
