Hi,

Thanks for the detailed report.

Something seems to be going wrong in running the preprocessor separate
from the compiler.  Please try running these commands directly through
mpiCC:

First make a simple hello.cc

mpiCC -E hello.cc -o hello.ii
mpiCC -c hello.ii -o hello.c

This is basically what distcc does.

If that doesn't work, try to work out why.  If it does work, try to
work out what's different between this case and using distcc.
