So if you are using makefiles to build your stuff, then yes, SparkBuild should work with it (assuming they are GNU make compatible makefiles, of course). As for distributing the load: SparkBuild explicitly does <em>not</em> provide that option. If you are interested in accelerating your build via parallelization and distribution, you should check out <a href="http://www.electric-cloud.com/products/electricaccelerator.php" rel="nofollow">ElectricAccelerator</a>, our commercial offering.

Can we use SparkBuild to distribute the load? Do SparkBuild support build TI DSP C6000 code?
Can we use SparkBuild to distribute the load?
