That's more or less what I'm trying to do with my Firmware Linux project: 
creating cross compilers and minimal native build environments for every qemu 
target.

http://landley.net/code/firmware
http://landley.net/hg/firmware

I currently have variants of arm, powerpc, mips, x86, and x86-64 working, and 
several others (sh4, sparc, m68k) in various stages of development.  (I think 
sparc just needs one minor bug fixed, I just can't bring myself to _care_ 
about sparc.  m68k is hitting an internal compiler error in gcc.  sh4 isn't 
properly supported by qemu yet: no boards with a hard drive.)

I just did a new release, which finally has the distcc trick implemented.  
(Not _quite_ useful yet because the build environment is missing seven 
important commands I hope to add next release.)

Feel free to ask me any questions about it...

P.S.  The mips kernel config recently changed because the qemu mips platform 
went away in 2.6.25, and the new one is malta_defconfig with some of the 
obvious options removed.  I'm working on a more stripped-down one as we 
speak, but I didn't hold up the release for it...
