distcc is not a cache. It doesn't keep the output of the compiler around after it builds things. It (only) distributes running the compiler around (and to do that handles some details of preprocessing, in certain modes) and then gets the output back to the requester of the compilation task.

At that point, the requester could cache that output, should they want to.
