Just an update. I have figured out it isn't systemd causing this issue.

I did upgrade several machines.

1. Upgraded the system profile.
2. Converted from split-usr to merged-usr.
3. Converted to systemd.

It turns out step 2 caused the problem. I don't know why, but it does - 
I tested this by converting an openrc machine that I hadn't upgraded yet 
from split-usr to merged-usr and the problem presented itself (no system 
on that machine yet.)

I did notice the machine I completely reinstalled from scratch (using 
systemd from the start) did not show signs of this issue.

I reinstalled the other distcc host using systemd from the start, 
installed and configured distcc and it all works as expected.

Now to reinstall the slower Celeron devices... come to think of it, I 
initially installed them in 2011. They haven't ever been reinstalled. 
Just repurposed.
