No, it works of of preprocessed sources. But you could easily adapt it  
to AST.

I see. Personally I think that's a rather large project for SoC and am  
not sure why a reimplementation specific to llvm would be useful as  
opposed to modifying the existing distcc - other than that would be a  
distcc SoC project and not an llvm one :)
