This looks like an incompatibility between the distcc "2.18.5 (Apple made)"
server and the the distcc 2.18.3 client.
The server is sending back an "INDR" token which the distcc 2.18.3 client
does not understand.
Presumably Apple made some incompatible extensions to the protocol which
makes "2.18.5 (Apple made)" servers incompatible with the protocol used by
the 2.18.3 client.

You'll need to use compatible versions of distcc on the client and the
server.
I recommend using distcc 3.0 on both client and server.

distccd[1525] (dcc_is_allowed_compiler) allowed compiler path:

Those error message also seems relevant... but it's probably not worth
tracking down the details of how to use 2.18.5, just install 3.0 instead.

For 3.0, make sure that the cross-compiler that you want to use is listed in
the "commands.allow.sh" file (e.g. /etc/distcc/commands.allow.sh).
