don't pass --enable-final to configure and then it shouldn't do that. 
I thought the same thing is said in the distcc FAQ, but anyway I know from my 
experience with KDE compiles, --enable-final means distcc is distributing 
250MB+ files to remote servers, so if you have less than a 100MB network the 
time you save on actual  compiling you lose on transferring those huge files. 
I haven't noticed any performance or stability differences either with or 
without --enable-final so now I just don't use that in my configure line.
