Currently, guix build doesn't support distcc for distributing individual 
source code files for compilation.
However, guix offload can be used to offload the whole build jobs to 
another trusted machine(s).

It's unknown whether implementing usage of distcc and enabling it in 
`guix build` will affect bit-for-bit reproducibility of packages.

The distcc feature request and adding distcc to guix's dependency 
closure and should be discussed further on guix-devel before implementing.
