  That wouldn't be appropriate as a specialized component of make. You could write a script that sends a command off to a cluster and just set CC=script/send_to_cluster gcc Then specify the number of jobs you'd like to run simultaneously on your cluster with the "-j" flag.

    Thanks for the thought. That sounds fine for simple compiler makefiles, although I'm using it for general purpose work (data analysis and visualization). I'm hoping for something that wouldn't require each command to be wrapped up, as there are many.
