Thanks for the report.  This does seem to be a bug. 

distcc doesn't do anything to .S or .s files.  

The problem here seems to be that arch/x86_64/ia32/syscall32.c has an
.incbin directive within an asm directive.

I'm not sure what to do here.  I guess we could scan through C source
for strings like ".incbin".  Can that be separated out into an
assembly file, or at least put DISTCC_HOSTS=localhost in the makefile
for that file.
