First, before I respond, please do not top-post. If Gmail's web-based
client makes not top-posting hard then please rather use a different client.

distcc is designed to do the same compile over many machines. By design,
they all run on the same compiler settings. You do not have this
scenario. You need to build on a P4 for Atom. That is not distcc, it is
cross-compile - which is a mission to set up properly. If you are
building for ARM then it is worth it. But for one package, and only
because the Atom builds slow? I doubt it's worth it.

Thus, I recommended you simply install libreoffice-bin
