I got another tip to bypass the issue. The trick is
to write a simple shell script called "cc" to embed
the LM_LICENCE_FILE. I will report if I have success.

To verify and understand how distcc can help the
c code compilation.  I am doing a pilot test for
my group using zlib-1.1.4 as an example software on
our supported OS platforms.

Following is my status

  OS         gcc-3.3.2  vendor cc compiler(Sun WS,HP aCC)
--------------------------------------------------------------
RH Linux     ok        ok (cc=gcc)     
HP 11.11     ok        (need to install aCC on secondary host)
HP 10.20     (gcc-3.3.2 need to be compiled.)
Solaris 9    ok        (need to figure out LM_LICENE_FILE variable
                        passing to execution hosts)
