I think CXXFLAGS is a little better, because I think this is really a
compiler option not a preprocessor option, but it's not a big deal.

I'm pretty sure that works in 2.5.1.  Perhaps you were setting it in a
place where it wasn't exported to the client?

Make sure that ccache is not caching the compilations.

Here is an example of me using it.  I am using HEAD so the filenames
are a little different but the relevant code has not changed.

$ export DISTCC_SAVE_TEMPS=1
$ rm /tmp/distcc_vexed_1001/* -r
$ ls -l /tmp/distcc_vexed_1001/
total 0
$ ./distcc -c ./cases/hello.c
$ ls -l /tmp/distcc_vexed_1001/
total 24
