As I've explained in the paragraph you immediately quoted afterwards, during
rpmbuild "ps" shows distcc getting invoked. So, distcc is being invoked from
rpm. Except that it's not distributing the builds:

I've got distcc configured for 10 concurrent builds. 4 local, 6 distributed
to another host. I see ten distcc processes on the local machine during the
rpmbuild, /var/log/messages on the other host shows nothing – it logs
distcc server activity otherwise – and the local host appears to be running
only four concurrent compiles.
