An alternative could be to make sure your linux box/VM and XBox have
the same version of GCC, then use DistCC to have the main PC do most
of the heavy lifting. This also has the advantage that the more
machines you can spare, the faster the compile goes.
So, something like:
DISTCC_HOSTS="VM1 VM2 VM3 localhost" make -j8
Would get DistCC to send tasks to VM1,2 and 3 before the local xbox
tries to compile, and will run 8 compile tasks simultaneously.
It's tres handy.
