Thankyou for the pointer and explanation.  I hadn't realized that
invocation as g++ implied -lstdc++ -- the manual doesn't mention
that.  I suppose I ought to test compilation through g++.

In the mean time you ought to be able to get it working with
CXX='distcc g++' or a masquerade invocation.

That looks reasonable.
