So the latest problem is that the distcc that comes with Tiger doesn't
work at all:

-------

cd libavutil && /usr/bin/make -f Makefile
distcc cc -c -pipe -faltivec -w -O3 -I/Users/dave/myth/.osx-packager/build/include -no-cpp-precomp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -force_cpusubtype_ALL -Wno-sign-compare -fno-inline-functions -faltivec -DPIC -fPIC  -DUSING_DBOX2 -DHAVE_DVDNAV -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DPREFIX=\"/Users/dave/myth/.osx-packager/build\" -DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -I/Users/dave/myth/.osx-packager/src/qt-mac-free-3.3.4/mkspecs/default -I. -I.. -I../.. -o mathematics.o mathematics.c

--------

FWIW, "cc" does work on its own.

Now attempting to build distcc from source and use that instead.
:( No dice.

My next shot-in-the-dark guess is to install ccache, but that caused
such a time suck the last time I did it that I'm reticent.
Furthermore, distcc only worked on the other machine when ccache
/wasn't/ installed.  Any clues?

Thanks in advance.
