Oops. One part (followcc1.so) needs to know if gcc is version 3.x in order
to disable the integrated cpp and has to ask the other part (cachecc1) 
if it knows the gcc version. Adding an extra parameter was not very clever.
I will fix that. In the meantime, you can try this :
-               if (!access(fname, F_OK)) {
+               if (1 || !access(fname, F_OK)) {

It would be a nice thing to make them _cooperate_. Integration has drawbacks...
What I am dreaming of is some kind of heterogeneous cross-compilation support
in distcc. Maybe I should stop dreaming and take a look at the code ;-)
