[distcc] how to make distcc work with make file and none-default location of g++ compiler?

[Michael Casadevall]

It sounds like its a having trouble working with the remote distcc  
server. It looks like your compiling for a 64-bit platform - it would  
greatly help if I can have more information on your full setup. I've  
seen broken pipe if distcc bombs abnormally on either machine, or  
your make is broken (possible with some older versions of BSD Make).  
Also, if you manually run distcc (running each command by hand) does  
it still bomb, and does make -n complete successfully. Some info  
would really be useful; Namely:

Version of Make
Build system (Linux/BSD/etc) on both the host/target
gcc -v 's output
Version of distcc on both machines,
DISTCC_HOSTS
Connection between the hosts
Anything else that would be relevant.
