Their reddit comments are not consistent with my experience using distcc. I can attest it is indeed a distributed ccache and works quite well. For a while I was even using distcc with a GCC cross compiler on Windows nodes to speed up my Linux app builds.
If there's a sccache maintainer reading this thread please consider explaining the advantages of using sccache over distcc in the README.
