I don’t think the assembly stage needs to be done locally. gcc can still be used to deploy the assembler. I am not too familiar with distcc, so I don’t know whether the preprocessing supports multiple source-files, and whether it has some strange-behavior when it comes to .S/.s files. Well, I’ll give it a try.
