configure doesn't correctly handle the case where popt.h is present but
libopt is not.

(This issue is extracted from issue 30.)

So I tried to compile distcc by hand, but then there several failures due
to the fact that I did not say --with-include-popt, so configure.ac decided, 
without even checking, to add -lpopt to all the compilations, which results
in several functions not being correctly detected as present:

So I'll start again with the needed flags, but can I suggest to
AC_CHECK_LIBS first whether popt is present before deciding not to use the
provided one?  
That's much nicer to the user IMHO.

Ideally, distcc would know about the os, arch, compiler and the
compiler-version needed to do the compilation job.

This would prevent ABI problems between versions of GCC, allow you to use
all CPU power on the network (regardless of arch or os), and make
cross-compiling much easier.

In my case, I have a project that must be compiled on:
win32, win64, sparc, x86-32bit, and x86-64bit.

To make ideal use of these 5 boxes, I would put distcc on all 5 boxes with
all 5 compilers.

Ciao!

I have a bizarre failure from the include_server, and I'm not sure what I 
should do:

WARNING include server: Preprocessing locally. Include server internal error: 
'<class 
'sre_constants.error'>: ('bogus escape (end of line)',)' for translation unit 
'../source/lib/libport/file-library.cc' ------- Include server stack trace 
-----------

My set up is very unusual: I'm using msvc++ to compile, but I'm using a 
home-grown wrapper 
that takes a gcc-like command line and under the hood actually uses cl.exe.  It 
is sufficiently 
gcc-like to have ccache work perfectly, to have libtool accept it, and to have 
Automake have 
automatic dependency tracking with gcc-like -MT options.

But I have this warning that I don't understand, and I don't know how to track 
it.  I have included 
a portion of the log file that i have when I run

INCLUDE_SERVER_ARGS='-d15' DISTCC_VERBOSE=1
DISTCC_HOSTS='192.168.0.103,lzo,cpp/1' pump make CXX='distcc cl.exe'

Note that the wrapper tries to produce the -v output in order to help the 
include_server find the 
-I path:

build@bf-linux-6   /tmp/./cl.exe foo.cc -v -c
#include "..." search starts here:
#include <...> search starts here:
 /home/build/.wine/dosdevices/c:/vcxx8/VC/include
 /home/build/.wine/dosdevices/c:/vcxx8/VC/PlatformSDK/Include
End of search list.

Distcc also fails on a small-scale experiment here:

DISTCC_VERBOSE=1 DISTCC_HOSTS='192.168.0.103,lzo,cpp/1' pump distcc cl.exe 
foo.cc -c -o 
foo.o |& tee log

(the result of which is the "foo.log" attachement.)

This is with stock 3.1, not the head of svn.
¡

it's not necessarily correct to test (mode & S_IFLNK) == S_IFLNK or (mode &
S_IFDIR) == S_IFDIR; you want to test all the S_IFMT bits. easiest to use
the provided S_ISLNK and S_ISDIR macros...

Using distcc r449 from svn on 32-bit Ubuntu Dapper with gcc 4.0.3-1ubuntu5.

src/zeroconf.c:2:1: error: "/*" within comment
make: *** [src/zeroconf.o] Error 1

src/zeroconf-reg.c has the same issue.

Curious, what version of gcc are you guys using?

Run: ./configure --prefix=/tmp/distcc-foo && make && make install

Then look in /tmp/distcc-foo/bin/pump:
include_server='tmp/distcc-foo/lib/python2.4/site-packages/include_server/includ
e_server.py'

It's missing a '/' in front of tmp/.

In Makefile.in on the sed line in the install-include-server target, you
need to put a / in front of $$INCLUDE_SERVER.

(Originally posted as a comment in issue 34, but I thought that might get
lost, since the issue is closed.)

When using zeroconf/avahi, hosts with multiple IP addresses (e.g. either
IPv4+IPv6 or wired+wireless) show up more than once.  The attached patch
filters the duplicates out by service name.

For example, on my machine:

$ avahi-browse -t _distcc._tcp
+ wlan IPv6 distcc@averatec
+ wlan IPv4 distcc@averatec
+ wired IPv6 distcc@averatec
+ wired IPv4 distcc@acerlin
+ wired IPv4 distcc@averatec

$ export DISTCC_HOSTS=+zeroconf

Without the patch, I get:

$ distcc --show-hosts
[fe80::221:85ff:fe7b:6468]:3632/8
192.168.1.114:3632/8
[fe80::221:85ff:fe4a:4151]:3632/8
192.168.2.17:3632/8
192.168.2.23:3632/4

After the patch, the 'distcc@averatec' entries are collapsed into one:

$ distcc --show-hosts
192.168.2.17:3632/8
192.168.2.23:3632/4

Patch is against svn@662.

Using version:
2.18.3
3.0rc2

Platform:
redhat linux x86_64
building from source using gcc4.3.0

trying to:
build own project using eclipse 3.4 (ganymede) with cdt

what went wrong:
it fails to distribute the job, since eclipse cdt does not add a space
between options "-MF", "-MT" but the comments in arg.c states that those
options are ok for distributing - but it does not check if flag and
argument are indeed separated by a space

Example:
distcc g++ -I../include -I../example
-I../extern/noarch/mysql/5.0.51a/include
-I../extern/noarch/mysqlpp/3.0.0/include -O0 -g3 -Wall -c
-fmessage-length=0 -Wno-deprecated -MMD -MP -MF"apps/apps.d"
-MT"apps/apps.d" -o"apps/apps.o" "../apps/apps.cpp"

all clients are connected by ssh and have varieing numbers of processors,
all with the lzo option

Solution:
We fixed that by replacing the strcmp function with a strncmp function,
that only compares the first n characters.
Our project compiles just fine with that - but we might have overlooked
something.

Patch: in the attachment

I am running distcc 3.0 i686-pc-linux-gnu on a gentoo system with GCC
4.1.2.  On any compile, or running 'distcc --show-hosts' I get an "ERROR:
invalid tcp port specification in "<ipv6 address here>""

Because of this, distcc fails to work with zeroconf on my network (or any
network where zeroconf reports IPv6 adresses).

The best solution is to either fix the address parsing so that zeroconf's
IPv6 addresses parse correctly, or to force avahi to give only IPv4 addresses.

[Testing out code.google.com's "Code Review Request" workflow.]

Purpose of code changes on this branch:

  Avoid using "echo -n", because it's not portable.


When reviewing my code changes, please focus on:
  correctness.

After the review, I'll merge this branch into:
/trunk

Answering the following questions is a big help:

1. What version of distcc are you using (e.g. "2.7.1")?  You can run
"distcc --version" to see.  If you got distcc from a distribution package
rather than building from source, please say which one.
distcc-3.0 (svn 549)

2. What platform are you running on (e.g. "Red Hat 8.0", "HP-UX 11.11")? 
What compilare are you using ("gcc 3.3")?  Run "uname -a" and "cc
--version" to see.
SunOS cod 5.10 Generic_120011-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210
gcc (GCC) 3.4.4

3. What were you trying to do (e.g. "install distcc", "build Mozilla")?
install distcc

4. What went wrong?  Did you get an error message, did it hang, did it
build a program that didn't work, did it not distribute compilation to
machines that ought to get it?
On a few files I got similar warnings (that the Makefile raised to errors
stopping the build) that look like
../distcc-3.0/src/fix_debug_info.c: In function `FindElfSection':
../distcc-3.0/src/fix_debug_info.c:67: warning: cast increases required
alignment of target type
../distcc-3.0/src/fix_debug_info.c:131: warning: cast increases required
alignment of target type
../distcc-3.0/src/fix_debug_info.c:176: warning: cast increases required
alignment of target type
../distcc-3.0/src/fix_debug_info.c:178: warning: cast increases required
alignment of target type
gmake: *** [src/fix_debug_info.o] Error 1


5. If you have an example of a compiler invocation that failed, quote it,
in full e.g.:
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_GNU_SOURCE
-DSYSCONFDIR="\"/home/jhanley/local/etc\""
-DPKGDATADIR="\"/home/jhanley/local/share/distcc\"" -Isrc
-I"../distcc-3.0/src" -I"../distcc-3.0/lzo"  -Werror -g -O2 -MD -W -Wall
-Wimplicit -Wuninitialized -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align
-Wwrite-strings -Waggregate-return -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wnested-externs -Wmissing-declarations -D_REENTRANT -pthreads -o
src/fix_debug_info.o -c ../distcc-3.0/src/fix_debug_info.c

6. What error logging do you get?  Turn on client and server error logging.
 On the client, set these environment variables, and try to reproduce the
problem: =export DISTCC_VERBOSE=1 DISTCC_LOG=/tmp/distcc.log=.  Start the
server with the --verbose option. If the problem is intermittent, leave
logging enabled and then pull out the lines from the log file when the
problem recurs.
N/A

7. If you got an error message on stderr, quote that error exactly. Find
the lines in the log files pertaining to the compile, and include all of
them in your report, by looking at the process ID in square brackets. If
you can't work that out, quote the last few hundred lines leading up to the
failure. 
N/A

[This is not a bug report!]

In my hardened linux distribution (that uses a hardened toolchain) there 
is an error if I compile the kernel! Because of the SSP and PIE flags that 
are enabled by default and can be overwritten by -nopie and -nossp they 
are also enabled when I compile the linux kernel.

But there is one special case; that is -D__KERNEL__ that is defined on the 
kernel compile and lets gcc now NOT to use -fPIC and so on.

In strip.c of distcc you can find code that strips any -Ds (which is 
generally right and good because they are normally only used by the 
preprocessor).

Whould it please be possible to add an extra exception that passed -
D__KERNEL__ "through the wire"?! Is it "safe"?


Thanks in advance

I have some question to developers of distcc.
When distcc runs compilation commands from make utility, sometimes
there are scripts in them.
Such as 

========= make 3.81 case

if gcc -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -DLIBDIR=\"/usr/local/lib\"
-DINCLUDEDIR=\"/usr/local/include\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.  -I./glob 
  -g -O2 -MT ar.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/ar.Tpo" -c -o ar.o ar.c; \ 
then mv -f ".deps/ar.Tpo" ".deps/ar.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/ar.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

==========================================================================

Of course, above script does not harm to compilation dependencies but 
some script can make problem at compilation dependencies.

It can change the source file that will be used for next compilation jobs.
I know that make utility does not investigate dependencies in scripts of
compilation commands. If some scripts can give effects to compilation
dependencies then distcc(also make utility) cannot guarantee the
correctness of compilation jobs. 

Please let me know how a team of distcc handle above problem.

Thanks.

Answering the following questions is a big help:

1. What version of distcc are you using (e.g. "2.7.1")?
distcc 3.0 x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

2. What platform are you running on (e.g. "Red Hat 8.0", "HP-UX 11.11")?
Linux gold 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jul 23 03:56:11 EDT 2008 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

3. What were you trying to do (e.g. "install distcc", "build Mozilla")?
run pump mode with a host file in PREFIX location given to configure script
$PREFIX/etc/distcc/hosts to list of possible host files (which distcc does
look into if it cannot find any other hosts file)

4. What went wrong?  Did you get an error message, did it hang, did it
build a program that didn't work, did it not distribute compilation to
machines that ought to get it?
pump: expected environment variables "DISTCC_HOSTS" or
"DISTCC_POTENTIAL_HOSTS" to be set, or to find a distcc hosts file in
"$DISTCC_DIR/hosts", "$HOME/.distcc/hosts", or "/etc/distcc/hosts"

5. If you have an example of a compiler invocation that failed, quote it,
in full e.g.:
pump make

6. What error logging do you get?
see above

7. If you got an error message on stderr, quote that error exactly. Find
the lines in the log files pertaining to the compile, and include all of
them in your report, by looking at the process ID in square brackets. If
you can't work that out, quote the last few hundred lines leading up to the
failure.
see above

I do not have a patch that I could contribute, since I am not very familiar
configure scripts, but basically to the pump script, when configured, the
following could be added:

    if [ -z "$DISTCC_HOSTS" ] &&
       [ -z "$DISTCC_DIR" -o ! -f "$DISTCC_DIR/hosts" ] &&
       [ -z "$HOME" -o ! -f "$HOME/.distcc/hosts" ] &&
       [ ! -f "/etc/distcc/hosts" ]
    then

should become 

    if [ -z "$DISTCC_HOSTS" ] &&
       [ -z "$DISTCC_DIR" -o ! -f "$DISTCC_DIR/hosts" ] &&
       [ -z "$HOME" -o ! -f "$HOME/.distcc/hosts" ] &&
       [ ! -f "/etc/distcc/hosts" ] &&
       [ ! -f "$PREFIX/etc/distcc/hosts" ]
    then

where PREFIX is given to the configure script by --prefix=PREFIX

closed too early without my response ))

so also in http://code.google.com/p/distcc/issues/detail?id=14&can=4

please see full error output.
Actually it fails earlier than make fired, on ./configure ;)
Why FreeBSD 7 out of box install fails with ur autogen and configure ;p

i havent chance to type gmake wtf? D=

This is a simple patch that adds the standard TAGS target for Emacs users.

In pump mode, distcc does not correctly handle -I options that refer to
directories that are on (or are a subdirectory of) the default system
include search path.

Distcc will not send default system include directories (those directories
on the default include search path, e.g. /usr/include) to the distcc server
machines.  Nevertheless, distcc rewrites -I options such as
-I/usr/include/foo as e.g. -I/tmp/distccNNN/usr/include/foo.  This doesn't
work, since the files in /usr/include/foo don't get sent to the distccd server.

When I retrieve the latest source (http://distcc.googlecode.com/files/
distcc-3.0.tar.bz2) and try to build it, I get the following error when 
running configure:
./configure: line 8145: syntax error near unexpected token `AVAHI,'
./configure: line 8145: `    PKG_CHECK_MODULES(AVAHI, avahi-client >= 0.6,'

Running autogen.sh before produces the following output:
./autogen.sh: running aclocal
aclocal: couldn't open directory `m4': No such file or directory
./autogen.sh: running autoheader
./autogen.sh: running autoconf
configure.ac:90: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

This happens on 2 different machines (both Linux, same errors):
CentOS something

automake (GNU automake) 1.9.6

I am running distcc 3.1 using "pump mode". I am running on a Sun 2.10 with
Solaris. The compiler option is gcc version 3.4.4. I am currently running
the distcc daemon on 3 servers, all Sun-Solaris. I am trying to compile a C
file by having both the preprocessing and compilation done remotely. Every
time I attempt this, I get the following message:

__________Using distcc-pump from /home/tholly/solaris_local/bin
__________Found        3 available distcc servers
WARNING include server: Preprocessing locally. Include server not covering:
Bailing out because include server spent more than 3.8s user time handling
request for translation unit 'cfilename.c
__________Shutting down distcc-pump include server

I have verbose set to on for both distcc and distccd. Here is what I see
pertaining to the issue in the log files:

distcc.log:

distcc[28211] (dcc_r_argv) reading 0 arguments from job submission
distcc[28211] (dcc_r_argv) got arguments: 
distcc[28211] Warning: include server gave up analyzing
distcc[28211] (dcc_build_somewhere) Warning: failed to get includes from

distccd.log:

"DIST"
distccd[26802] (dcc_r_request_header) ERROR: client did not provide distcc
magic fairy dust

This is what happens every time no matter what the C file. It is failing to
send the includes to the include server and resorts to preprocessing
locally, but I do not know how to fix it.

Answering the following questions is a big help:

1. What version of distcc are you using (e.g. "2.7.1")?

building 3.1 from code.google.com/p/distcc

2. What platform are you running on (e.g. "Red Hat 8.0", "HP-UX 11.11")? 
What compilare are you using ("gcc 3.3")?  Run "uname -a" and "cc
--version" to see.

Novell SLES 10, SLED 10
gcc-4.1.2_20070115-0.11

3. What were you trying to do (e.g. "install distcc", "build Mozilla")?

build distcc

4. What went wrong?

this builds fine with openSUSE 11.1 and gcc43-4.3.3_20081022-9.8

I ran into problems with "make check" before svn commit'ing for issue 43.  
It appears the DotD_Case.TempCompile_Case C++-specific tests fail under GCC 
4.3.3 (which tends to be more strict than GCC 4.1.2).  I've attached full

(Will commit to SVN if it looks fine to you, then commit the patch for 
issue 43 afterward.)

attached a patch to fix.

While building the linux kernel in pump mode,
I experienced a deadlock, with a bunch of distcc processes each holding one
of the local cpu locks and trying to acquire a tcp lock, and another bunch
of distcc processes each holding one of the tcp locks and trying to acquire
a local cpu lock.

Answering the following questions is a big help:

1. What version of distcc are you using (e.g. "2.7.1")?  You can run
"distcc --version" to see.  If you got distcc from a distribution package
rather than building from source, please say which one.

distcc 3.0 i686-pc-linux-gnu
  (protocols 1, 2 and 3) (default port 3632)
  built Dec 18 2008 21:34:13

Built from source using Gentoo package sys-devel/distcc-3.0-r4.

2. What platform are you running on (e.g. "Red Hat 8.0", "HP-UX 11.11")? 
What compilare are you using ("gcc 3.3")?  Run "uname -a" and "cc
--version" to see.

Linux tidal 2.6.23-gentoo-r9 #2 SMP Tue Aug 26 20:20:08 PDT 2008 i686
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4600 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.1)

3. What were you trying to do (e.g. "install distcc", "build Mozilla")?

Compile almost anything with distcc.

4. What went wrong?  Did you get an error message, did it hang, did it
build a program that didn't work, did it not distribute compilation to
machines that ought to get it?

distcc-mon-gnome displays multiple rows for the same host/slot combination.
This appears to occur only for remote hosts. See attached screenshot.

5. If you have an example of a compiler invocation that failed, quote it,
in full e.g.:
   distcc gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_GNU_SOURCE -I./src \
"-DSYSCONFDIR=\"/etc/\"" -I./lzo -g -O2 -W -Wall -W \ -Wimplicit -Wshadow
-Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align \ -Wwrite-strings -Waggregate-return
-Wstrict-prototypes \ -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -o src/clirpc.o
\ -c src/clirpc.c

Compiling works fine.

6. What error logging do you get?  Turn on client and server error logging.
 On the client, set these environment variables, and try to reproduce the
problem: =export DISTCC_VERBOSE=1 DISTCC_LOG=/tmp/distcc.log=.  Start the
server with the --verbose option. If the problem is intermittent, leave
logging enabled and then pull out the lines from the log file when the
problem recurs.

No error messages.

7. If you got an error message on stderr, quote that error exactly. Find
the lines in the log files pertaining to the compile, and include all of
them in your report, by looking at the process ID in square brackets. If
you can't work that out, quote the last few hundred lines leading up to the
failure. 

No error messages.

Pump mode uses the system header files (header files in the default system
include directories) from the servers, rather than from the client.
This means that for deterministic operation, those header files need to be
the same on all the distcc servers as they are on the distcc client.
However, currently there's no easy way to check that.
We should provide a tool that users can run to check it.

1. What version of distcc are you using (e.g. "2.7.1")?

I know Debian includes a generic man page for it, but it doesn't tell me
what all the pretty colors mean. ;-)

No python2.4 is found. I have python 2.5 installed, and since the deb

installed with distcc.

Please either include a dependency on python 2.4 or do not use a specific

Here is a patch that suppresses the warnings emitted by GCC 4.3 about
unused return value. Although the warnings were harmless, they caused
distcc build process to failed (since the -Werror flag is used by default).

For certain Boost header files, which do "#include BOOST_PP_ITERATE()",
pump mode reports warnings, and eventually falls back to local
preprocessing.  There are two problems:

 (1) performance; when this case is hit, overall build speed can be as bad
as 5X worse than non-pump mode

 (2) the diagnostics that are given just state the translation unit, but
give no indication of which header file(s) or which #include statement(s)
are problematic.

Answering the following questions is a big help:

I would really like to se -Werror in your build system as an optin/out
thing (maybe some kind of --maintainer-mode?).
No buildsystem is perfect, and there is a lot of things that can give
warnings (like FORTIFY_SOURCE) even when there is nothing critical going wrong.
Why not have a flag for configure that makes it possible to opt-out?

If this is not the proper way to submit patches, please let me know.

I ran with "pump make cc='distcc gcc'", and distccmon-test reported
Preprocess was done on localhost". 

However, I ran with "make cc='distcc gcc'", and distccmon-test reported
Preprocess was done on remote host. (in my case, I only have 1 remote host).

How do I do is preprocessing is done locally or remotely?

Answering the following questions is a big help:

1. What version of distcc are you using (e.g. "2.7.1")?  You can run
"distcc --version" to see.  If you got distcc from a distribution package
rather than building from source, please say which one.

2. What platform are you running on (e.g. "Red Hat 8.0", "HP-UX 11.11")? 
What compilare are you using ("gcc 3.3")?  Run "uname -a" and "cc
--version" to see.

3. What were you trying to do (e.g. "install distcc", "build Mozilla")?

4. What went wrong?  Did you get an error message, did it hang, did it
build a program that didn't work, did it not distribute compilation to
machines that ought to get it?

5. If you have an example of a compiler invocation that failed, quote it,
in full e.g.:
   distcc gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_GNU_SOURCE -I./src \
"-DSYSCONFDIR=\"/etc/\"" -I./lzo -g -O2 -W -Wall -W \ -Wimplicit -Wshadow
-Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align \ -Wwrite-strings -Waggregate-return
-Wstrict-prototypes \ -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -o src/clirpc.o
\ -c src/clirpc.c

6. What error logging do you get?  Turn on client and server error logging.
 On the client, set these environment variables, and try to reproduce the
problem: =export DISTCC_VERBOSE=1 DISTCC_LOG=/tmp/distcc.log=.  Start the
server with the --verbose option. If the problem is intermittent, leave
logging enabled and then pull out the lines from the log file when the
problem recurs.

7. If you got an error message on stderr, quote that error exactly. Find
the lines in the log files pertaining to the compile, and include all of
them in your report, by looking at the process ID in square brackets. If
you can't work that out, quote the last few hundred lines leading up to the
failure. 

Answering the following questions is a big help:

1. What version of distcc are you using (e.g. "2.7.1")?  
svn revision 622

2. What platform are you running on (e.g. "Red Hat 8.0", "HP-UX 11.11")?
Gentoo, x86-64, gcc-4.3.2, glibc-2.8, python-2.5.2

3. What were you trying to do (e.g. "install distcc", "build Mozilla")?
svn co distcc; ./autogen.sh; CFLAGS="-O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
./configure; make

4. What went wrong?

FYI: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244847

attached a patch.

This is an issue report about distcc 3.0 (compiled by myself).

gcc (GCC) 4.3.2
Linux 2.6.26.x (I think.)
But that doesn't matter I think.

When building some common packages there is a problem in parsing the -Wp 
arguments.

For example: iptables 1.4.1.1

[chroot-i686(i686)] root:/usr/src/iptables-1.4.1.1$ make

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/iptables-1.4.1.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Syslinux 3.62:

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/syslinux-3.62/mtools'
gcc -Wp,-MT,syslinux.o,-MMD,.syslinux.o.d -W -Wall -fno-stack-protector -

syslinux.o syslinux.c
distcc[15587] (copy_extra_args) Warning: '-Wp,-MD' or '-Wp,-MMD' option is 
missing filename argument

I tried to modify that lines but still get the same error, or an assertion 
error (http://code.google.com/p/distcc/source/browse/trunk/src/arg.c#474) 
or gcc didn't accept the flags :(.

I searched some code repositories of some big distributions but no one has 
a patch or anything else.

Hope that is enough information for you.

Just let me know whether you need further information :-)

After fixing issue 3, building r456 still fails for me on Ubuntu Dapper.

Looks like you need to add @ZEROCONF_DISTCC_OBJS@ to $common_obj in
Makefile.in??

 2.18.3 i486-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632)
  built May  1 2007 10:25:30 (From the Ubuntu HH package)

All hosts running distcc are running Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04)
We're running gcc 2.95  and gcc 4.2.3

We use distcc for building the firmware for our product.  

We deem the whole build to be a failure if the compiler emits even a single
warning message.  It would be nice if there was an option to suppress
warnings from distcc about 'broken pipe, no route to host' type errors,
where somone in the farm rebooted their box part way through a build.  This
way we wouldn't have to leave the boxes running over the weekend etc.
