>Description:
distcc distributed compile fails with various outcomes:

* If the compiler being called is gcc46, build stops because of compiler error.
Example: # make CC=distcc -C lang/gcc
checking whether distcc supports -W... yes
checking whether distcc supports -Wall... yes
checking whether distcc supports -Wwrite-strings... yes
checking whether distcc supports -Wmissing-format-attribute... yes
checking whether distcc supports -Wstrict-prototypes... yes
checking whether distcc supports -Wmissing-prototypes... yes
checking whether distcc supports -Wold-style-definition... yes
checking whether distcc supports -Wc++-compat... yes
checking whether distcc supports -pedantic -Wno-long-long... yes
checking dependency style of distcc... none
configure: error: no usable dependency style found
gmake[1]: *** [configure-libcpp] Error 1

* If the compiler being called is clang, build stops because of compiler error.
Example: # make buildworld  CC=distcc

 IF I ENABLE CCACHE IN MAKE.CONF AND ALSO SET:
 setenv CCACHE_PREFIX /usr/local/bin/distcc
 THEN,
 * If the compiler being called is gcc46, compile orders get correctly distributed to distcc hosts
 Example: "# make CC=distcc -C lang/gcc" but breaks otherwise:

 else true; fi

 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/obj/asp/ports/lang/gcc/work/build'
 gmake: *** [all] Error 2
 *** [do-build] Error code 1
 
 * If the compiler is clang, compile orders get correctly distributed to distcc hosts for ports.
 Example: # make CC=distcc -C ports-mgmt/pkg compiles correctly.
 
 * If buildworld, 2 different outcomes:
 # make buildworld CC=distcc - results in same as above (Unable to determine compiler type error)
 # make buildworld - breaks with below (just an example, breaks in many places for same reason). Fallbacks disabled for debugging.
