distcc does not necessarily prevent that, it just makes it a little
more difficult.  You will see the trace through the function names as
before.  Using the 'directory' command and other methods documented
elsewhere you can find the right source for any function.  If you have
files with the same name in different directories and if you use a
recursive Make then some manual intervention may be needed.

A proper fix for this can really only be done in gcc but it looks like
some progress is being made there.  Alternatively you can try the
"line 1" patch from the patches/ directory.
