Same issue here with FF and distcc, it's happening for few releases
now, whenever I tried to find a solution I was going over some old
build system issues with FF on their bugzilla.
You can disable distcc for specific package using package.use[1].
I have just two things set:
FEATURES="-distcc -distcc-pump"
and MAKEOPTS reduced in the nodistcc.conf
