FFmpeg's configure script resolves the compiler via `which gcc` and bakes
the absolute path /usr/bin/gcc into the generated makefiles. With
BUILDENV=(distcc ...) makepkg prepends /usr/lib/distcc/bin to PATH, but
configure has already resolved past the shim — so every translation unit
compiles locally despite the worker pool being available.

Pass --cc='distcc gcc' / --cxx='distcc g++' to configure when the distcc
shim path is present. Falls back to plain gcc/g++ otherwise so a !distcc
build is unaffected.

Validated locally: distcc-avahi 3.4-19 on fermi exposes
/usr/lib/distcc/bin/gcc -> ../../../bin/distcc, and the four-worker pool
(tesla, dcc1, dcc2, boltzmann) is reachable via DISTCC_HOSTS=+zeroconf.
Earlier ffmpeg builds on run 76 logged zero connections on any worker
despite distcc-avahi being correctly installed — this is the missing
piece.
