Hi,

I'm not sure I understand your question, so if this doesn't work let
me know.

I don't think you need any changes to distcc.

Can't you just make a masquerade link from 

  /usr/local/lib/distcc/thumb-epoc-pe-gcc -> /usr/local/bin/distcc

Put that on your path and get the build system (make or whatever) to
call thumb-epoc-pe-gcc.  This will call distcc because of the symlink,
and distcc will use the invocation name as the remote compiler.

I think for cross builds it's always better to use the full name;
there's too much potential for confusion otherwise.

Cheers,
