>From the "bench/ProjectDefs.py" file in the distcc sources:

Project(url='
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2',
        md5='db95a49a656a3247d4995a797d333153 *linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2',
        configure_cmd="make V=1 HOSTCC='$(CC)' defconfig",
        build_cmd="make V=1 HOSTCC='$(CC)' bzImage",

include_server_args='--stat_reset_triggers=include/linux/compile.h:include/asm/asm-offsets.h'
        ).register()

So, try setting the INCLUDE_SERVER_ARGS environment variable to
--stat_reset_triggers=include/linux/compile.h:include/asm/asm-offsets.h, and
use the commands listed above (configure_cmd and build_cmd) to configure and
build, e.g.

export
INCLUDE_SERVER_ARGS=--stat_reset_triggers=include/linux/compile.h:include/asm/asm-offsets.h
make V=1 HOSTCC='$(CC)' defconfig
pump make V=1 HOSTCC='$(CC)' bzImage

Does that solve the problem?
