Hi Michael, distcc certainly used to work with the kernel. I guess the use of -xc may be a new addition upstream if nothing gets compiled at all. It would be possible to teach distcc how to handle -x, it's just not done yet.
This command you quote seems to be saying "please compile, as C, the contents of /dev/null." I guess it is doing this as some kind of configuration test of the compiler and this command is not typical of the actual compiler invocations. If you see just one of these, it's harmless. If every command is failing this way, post an example where it's trying to build actual C code.
