gcc version 3.2.1
glibc-config --version reports 1.2.10

I did:
    make dep CC='distcc'
    make CC='distcc'

Same error.  I looked into it and this is curious:
 From /usr/bin/ :
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            3 Jan 16 09:24 cc -> gcc
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        69852 Jan 16 09:24 g++-gcc-2.95.3
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 Jan 16 09:24 g++2 -> 
g++-gcc-2.95.3
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           18 Jan 16 09:24 gcc -> 
/usr/local/bin/gcc
 
/usr/local/bin is where gcc 3.2.1 is installed.  in fact cc --version 
shows 3.2.1.

make CC='cc'  : same error
make CC='gcc' : no error
make CC='distcc gcc' : no error

While the problem is fixed, in a strage sorta way (still don't know why 
the cc link doesn't work..)
Here is the strange debugging output.  the scheduler compile doesn't 
even show up.  Below is the last of the distcc logged output, even when 
I DIRECTLY LINK cc -> /usr/local/bin/gcc (as if that would make a 
difference)

At any rate, whatever problem this is, thanks for the help.
