Has anyone on this list tried distributed cross compiling?

I'm a die-hard Gentoo user and I've got several old laptops that I want
to run Gentoo on.  I've (mostly) been successful installing Gentoo on
them, but things would go a LOT faster if I could cross compile using my
Ryzen 7 system to help.

Gentoo has a reasonably good wiki on distributed compiling, but it's
gets a little fuzzy when the server (or "volunteer") machine has a
different processor than the "client".  Based on what I've been able to
determine, cross compiling tends to be something of black art anyway.

For example, I'm confused by building a Gentoo toolchain on the
volunteer for the client, and how to set it up.

If anyone on this list has done this, would you mind giving me a hand
off-list?

TIA!
