Using distcc when emerging packages causes some packages to fail with an error of "File format not recognized." Some packages that fail are: net-dialup/ppp net-dialup/l2tpd net-mail/ripmime mail-client/mailx-support app-admin/gkrellm Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install and setup distcc with multipe hosts 2. Emerge the package in questions Actual Results: Error similar to (using ppp as example): ipcp.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized collect2: ld returned 1 exit status distcc[11548] ERROR: compile (null) on localhost failed make[1]: *** [pppd] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/ppp-2.4.2-r15/work/ppp-2.4.2/pppd' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!! ERROR: net-dialup/ppp-2.4.2-r15 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 108, Exitcode 2 !!! build has failed !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. That is the topmost build error. Expected Results: It should compile and install the package without error. Currently using 6 distcc hosts with a total of 12 physical CPU's (2 single- cpu, 3 dual cpu, 1 quad cpu). All hosts are i686, though CPU's are P3, P3 Xeon, P4, P4 Xeon, and Via Nehemiah.

Please, don't file summary bugs about unrelated ebuilds. Such bugs cannot be reasonably assigned and tracked. One ebuild = one bug. Thanks.
