It's the typical cause of errors citing system headers.

No, it doesn't, you can see it sent

distcc[4294] (dcc_x_file) send 3444161 byte file
/var/folders/Xt/XtFnn8QGHgCmHAC96Ifxtk+++Ug/-Tmp-/distcc_4ae81386.mii

I see you're using the Apple modified version of distcc; maybe you
should report this to them but I would be very interested to hear what
the cause is.
