the 3 IBM xSeries 8-Xeon babies are actually on the way to me ;-)

No, I haven't. I've restarted it now with 

	setenv DISTCC_HOSTS "bolinux11:1111 localhost"
and 
	gmake -j4 CC="distcc tcc"

and see that tcc is now being called on the localhost too 
and that distccd isn't needed on the localhost (right?) 

I'll report the build time improvement to you in 
(hopefully ;-) few minutes
