Gcc now has an option as @file to specify extra command line options from "file".  Distcc has implemented support for this in the 3 recent commits

  https://github.com/distcc/distcc/commits/master/src/distcc.c

Now at least net-libs/webkit-gtk uses this gcc feature, making build fail if distcc-3.2_rc1-r5 is installed.  Therefore backport this feature makes sense if distcc maintainers does not make a new release in a timely manner.

Reproducible: Always

There are new releases with this already, so I guess there's no point in backporting it.  There might be a point in stabilizing a newer version though.
