It looks like printf has become a macro?  What *exact* gcc and glibc
versions are using?

You know if you're doing -j you can't do "make dep" in the same
command as "make", right?  You need 

  make dep && make -j2

This almost certainly looks like a problem in installation of your
compiler or C library, not something in distcc.  Can you build the
kernel using 

  make CC=cc

rather than just using the default compiler. 

If so there is something wrong with the compiler called cc on your
system.  You can either fix this (good idea) or run something like

  make CC=distcc gcc-3.2'

specifying the non-broken compiler.

If that doesn't fix it, try turning on DISTCC_VERBOSE and DISTCC_LOG,
and post all the lines with the same pid for the compilation of
sched.c.

Let us know how it works out.
