I don't know how Icecream is integrated with our build system, but is this really necessary? Cause distcc doesn't need any special support in the ebuilds (gcc and so on are used through distcc by default)
(In reply to comment #3) Without those configure flags the oo build system can't detect icecream. it still prints that it can't detect it, but nonetheless uses icecream. This works for me, as in uses 1 day (with icecream) versus 2 days (without).

Sounds like a purely cosmetical change. That's actually the same situation we have with regards to distcc and ccache atm. Adding a use flag for this would then only make it more wrong / cause a real problem (cause people think they build without icecream, when they use -icecream, which wouldn't be true). So as far as I can see, the little incorrect information in the build log is the better of the two possibilities.
So if there really if my statement is correct and there is no fundamental reason to do this, I'm not going to add it, for the reasons mentioned above. If you have a serious objection to this (and good arguments for it ;) ) please reopen.
