There's a closed pull request on the void-packages repository

[WIP] New package: icecream-1.3.1
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/21971

Description:
### Intro
This PR brings distributed compiler icecc (https://github.com/icecc/icecream) to Void.

Unlike distcc it supports building on heterogeneous workers (by sending chroot archives to the workers), so my ultimate goal is to use it in xbps-src as an alternative to distcc.

### TODO
* [x] ~Naming of the package? `icecc` or `icecream`? [repology](https://repology.org/project/icecream/versions)~ icecream it is
* [ ] where should daemon's basedir be? [fedora](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/icecream/tree/master) uses `/var/cache/icecc`
* [ ] other distros like [debian](https://sources.debian.org/src/icecc/1.3.1-1/debian/) [fedora](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/icecream/blob/master/f/fedora-sysconfig.icecream) ship a custom icecc.conf that could be adopted for a more simple configuration of the services

### How to test
Required ports are mentioned in the project's [README](https://github.com/icecc/icecream#firewall)
1. on the remote machine: start the daemon: `iceccd -vvv`
1. on the local machine: start the scheduler: `icecc-scheduler -vvv` and a daemon
1. make sure scheduler connects to remote daemon
1. expand PATH to find the icecc symlinks 
```
export ICECC_DEBUG=debug
export PATH="/usr/libexec/icecc/bin:$PATH"
gcc -o helloworld helloworld.c
```
5. or invoke icecc directly
```
ICECC_DEBUG=debug icecc gcc -o helloworld helloworld.c
```
