I just tried:

root@twins:/mnt/build/linux-2.6# /mnt/md0/cross/bin/x86_64-linux-gcc --version
x86_64-linux-gcc (GCC) 4.3.1 20080510 (prerelease)

root@twins:/mnt/build/linux-2.6# gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu12) 4.3.2

The build with the distcc x86_64-linux-gcc compiler and the install
using the host compiler works just fine on Linus' tree.
