That explains it.

Well, that's not an option currently (unless there's an automatic way to
discover it like on MacOSX). My setup has to be flexible wrt that.
When I use DISTCC_LOG, I get much more output than I would like, stuff
like:
checking errno.h presence... distcc[1897] exec on localhost:
i386-redhat-linux-gcc-2.96 -E -I. conftest.c
distcc[1897] (dcc_collect_child) cc times: user 0.010000s, system 0.000000s,
53 minflt, 245 majflt
distcc[1897] compile on localhost completed ok
distcc[1897] elapsed compilation time 0.007820s
distcc[1897] (dcc_exit) exit: code 0; self: 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys;
children: 0.010000 user 0.000000 sysyes
Where it used to be only one line. Even when I define DISTCC_VERBOSE=0 I
get this much output. Is there no way to reduce (or suspend) all output
from distcc. To prevent it from contaminating my build environment.
Whenever I get in trouble I can still enable all debugging output and
redirect to a logfile.
