distcc only "farms out" the actual compiling.  Pre-processing is done locally, 
so it uses your local header files.  Linking is also done locally, so it will 
use your local libraries. [1]

That said, if you have incompatible compilers (e.g. gcc-3.3 vs. gcc-3.4) you 
may have issues, and they may or may not be caught at link time.

[1] distcc tries to be smart when passed a command-line that would do both 
compiling and (pre-processing or linking), but when it can't separate the 
stages, it will end up using your local compiler.
