How does rpmbulid decide how many threads to run?  I think it looks at
the local machine and decides.  I also recall some variable called
RPMBUILD_NCPU or something like that.  That would explain why it only
uses as many threads as the local machine can handle.

Hope this helps,

Sadly, no it doesn't.  As I wrote above:

rpmbuild uses the _smp_mflags macro to pass the -j parameter to make, and I have it correctly configured to kick off ten parallel processes, to match the maximum number of ten processes distcc is configured (4 local, 6 remote). Yet, despite the fact that a manual build distributes the compiles correctly, with rpmbuild distcc throttles the number of concurrent parallel jobs that it kicks off to four, and runs them locally.
