Actually I took that scheme because the gcc RPM from Red Hat uses the 
following path:

	/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/cc1

I personally think the 'redhat' is very important there. unknown would 
clash with other compilers from other distros.

I don't know what specification you're referring to, but should distcc's 
scheme have to follow that specification ?
