My wild guess is that your host file is a MS-DOS text file with \r\n
for end of lines. Maybe distcc opens the file in binary mode and
doesn't expect the \r. That would at least explains why your debug
output looks bad (you obviously have scrambled lines). I don't think
that distcc says "_3632_0: No such file or directory". Instead, I
think it says "ZA005521", then goes to the beginning of the line
again, they says "_3632_0: No such file or directory".

Or it could be the other way around, distcc opens in text mode and your
file has Unix line terminators. Either way may cause the trouble.

Could you please check the text file format you are using for your
"hosts" file, and try the other one and see if it helps?

Thanks,
