But that should not affect operation. The path in ./.buildman is partial. buildman appends other stuff to make a complete path. I need to put double quote for "distcc <my path prefix>".

I don't > see how that could work. It doesn't have to - if you give a complete path then it will use it. You might need to change things in toolchain.py to make it work. See MakeEnvironment() which sets up the environment for Make - CROSS_COMPILE, PATH. Yes, one problem is that buildman uses objsize to find out the code/data size.

Well if you are using that feature out certainly can't use MAKEALL since it doesn't support it. If you leave off the branch (-b) buildman will build the current source and not check anything out.
