I suggest you try building something simpler (like hello world) first.

Because you have just set it to 'distcc' it's trying to run the default
compiler on the server, which may be the wrong one.   You typically need
e.g. 'distcc i383-freebsd-gcc-4.0' or carefully set DISTCCD_PATH on the
servers.

Note it is $CC not $C.

This error is typical when you've used the remote native compiler and
therefore are trying to link a Windows object file into a free86 binary.
It doesn't fit.
