My current solution is:

/tool/distcc/bin$ ls -l
total 8
lrwxrwxrwx  1 pf src  11 Oct 17 13:32 g++ -> g++-wrapper
lrwxrwxrwx  1 pf src  15 Oct 17 10:39 g++-3.3 -> /usr/bin/distcc
lrwxrwxrwx  1 pf src  15 Oct 17 10:39 g++-4.0 -> /usr/bin/distcc
lrwxrwxrwx  1 pf src  15 Oct 17 10:39 g++-4.1 -> /usr/bin/distcc
-rwxr-xr-x  1 pf src  76 Oct 17 10:38 g++-wrapper
lrwxrwxrwx  1 pf src  11 Oct 17 13:32 gcc -> gcc-wrapper
lrwxrwxrwx  1 pf src  15 Oct 17 10:35 gcc-3.3 -> /usr/bin/distcc
lrwxrwxrwx  1 pf src  15 Oct 17 10:35 gcc-4.0 -> /usr/bin/distcc
lrwxrwxrwx  1 pf src  15 Oct 17 10:35 gcc-4.1 -> /usr/bin/distcc
-rwxr-xr-x  1 pf src 133 Oct 17 11:22 gcc-wrapper
lrwxrwxrwx  1 pf src  15 Oct 12 12:06 mipsel-linux-c++ -> /usr/bin/distcc
lrwxrwxrwx  1 pf src  15 Oct 12 12:06 mipsel-linux-cc -> /usr/bin/distcc
lrwxrwxrwx  1 pf src  15 Oct 12 12:06 mipsel-linux-g++ -> /usr/bin/distcc
lrwxrwxrwx  1 pf src  15 Oct 17 13:30 mipsel-linux-gcc -> /usr/bin/distcc
pf@/tool/distcc/bin$ cat gcc-wrapper
#!/bin/bash

REALGCC=`ls -l /usr/bin/gcc | cut -d " " -f 13`

echo $REALGCC $@
$REALGCC $@
exit $?



In some cases it seems to work, but autoconf sometimes don't like it.
But it needs some improvements!!
