That does NOT preserve compatibility -- that is a kludge work-around that
people would have to adopt, not a preservation of existing calling
methods.
Since you keep suggesting proxy scripts, why don't you write one that
parses command-line options and sets environment variables and runs
distcc? Seems like the perfect solution.

Seems to me that the opposite is true -- if the thing to run may or may
not be a compiler, specifying it as a program name after the options
makes for better future extendibility.

Which would make it nearly impossible to separate the distcc args from
the CC args.
