Sure.

Yes, I think it is.

The log looks normal to me, except for the .i file being 0 bytes.  Why
that is happening I don't know.  Are you sure that "cc" on the path is
really gcc, not something else?

Perhaps you could run strace on the client, and look at the output to
make of which compiler is being invoked, and that the arguments are as
they should be.

Does it work with CC='distcc gcc'?
