There is a more serious problem than the filename in doing C++
compilation under Sun CC.  That is that Sun CC apparently cannot
correctly compile C++ templates when the file is preprocessed
separately from compilation.  There is not much distcc can do to fix
this.

Ask the Sun compiler team to fix this issue, or use GNU g++.
