When  is called, it checks to see what it was called as (e.g.  ,   , etc.) When distcc then distributes the compile to a helper box, it passes along the name it was called as. The distcc daemon on the other helper box then looks for a binary with that same name. If it sees just , it will look for   , which is likely to be the native compiler on the helper box, if it is not the same architecture as the box running. When the full name of the compiler is sent (e.g.  ), there is no confusion.
