Distributed Compile?

[Chris Fazekas]

Woke up last night with an thought.  From what I understand, it is
possible to build a kernel on a cluster of machines, so in theory it would
be possible to do so on a distributed.net type system using peoples free
CPU time.  Does this seem possible?  And would it be extremely complex?

Just wondering because it would be nice to have a way of superfast
compiling test kernels (and applications etc).  Not saying my 3GHZ isnt
fast, but its no supercomputer (cluster).
