    Was it much of a pain to set up? I was hemming and hawing about distcc recently, but binhost sounds potentially better.

      Are your systems the same architecture and similar profiles? If so, then yes. It’s just a matter of enabling it and running the quickpkg command.

      Otherwise, it’s a bit harder. You’ll be using cross compiler (if different architecture) and a chroot. You’ll have to setup the host to compile for the target systems whenever you do updates. The initial compile will take a while since it’ll compile basically everything.

          If recommend checking out the gentoo wiki on “binary package guide” or something like that. It explains quickpkg and everything else.
