Bugzilla Bug 80518

After emerging distcc-2.18.3-r3, all subsequent emerges that invoke gcc fail
(gcc segfaults). This happens during configuration in most packages. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
0. export FEATURES="-distcc"
1. emerge '=sys-devel/distcc-2.18.3'
2. export FEATURES="distcc"
3. emerge '=sys-devel/distcc-2.18.3'

Actual Results:  
The second emerge fails in configuration (the log states that gcc segfaults).

Expected Results:  
The second emerge should have succeeded as the first did.

### config.log:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by distcc configure 2.18.3, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var/lib --with-included-popt --with-gnome --enable-rfc2553

Some side notes:
- As implied in my example, 'export "-distcc"' works around the problem if distcc-2.18.3-r3 is installed (which seems to clearly indicate that distcc is, in fact, the problem).
- I am *not* running the distcc daemon (I have an unconfirmed suspicion that this is what's causing the segfault)
- In any case, distcc-2.16-r2 does not exhibit this problem

I can confirm that having the distccd daemon started does not help with the
problem...

I still get segfaults even when I started the distccd daemon manuelly through
/etc/init.d

I can confirm that this is a problem with distcc-2.18.3-r3. I re-emerged
distcc-2.18.3-r2 and emerging works fine (I am using distcc/distccd for
compilation though).

Until a new -r4 appears, my workaround is: emerge =distcc-2.18.3-r2
You can also remove distcc from FEATURES (amd you may have to to switch back to
the older distcc!)

I had the problem also.
emerge =sys-devel/distcc-2.18.3-r2 fix it for me.

With distcc, if you compile a simple file as "gcc -o test test.c" it will seg
fault. But if you run it like "gcc test.c" it works fine and generates a.out
without problem.

This problem has effected me too, it is clear that something went wrong with
passing options through to fix bug #78652.

Created an attachment (id=50514) [edit]
multilib.patch

A patch for distcc-gentoo-multilib-r1.patch to fix this bug.

fixed in cvs.  thanks guys.
