See http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/asneeded.xml.  In particular, the section
titled "The importance of linking order".

The patch just moves the distcc monitor object files *before* the libraries
they link with.  When --as-needed is used, failure to do so will cause "missing
symbol" errors.  But, the link I posted explains it better than I do.

This patch is only needed when the gnome useflag is in use

Sorry it took so long, I was waiting on feedback from another dev. Fixed in
CVS.
