Openssh openssh-3.6.1_p2 faild to build in my massive paralle environment. I have distcc on 4 boxes. 2 smp amd boxes 1 smp celeron 466 and one PIII. I have MAKEOPTS="-j10". Openssh failed to build everytime. I changed MAKEOPTS to -j1 and it worked.
Hmm, I hope my roomie doesn't mind me rebooting his box, I'll test that locally with a similar setup :)
Well I just ran it SEVERAL times on make -j 15 on a distcc of 5 processors (not as many as yours, but still), and had not a single failure... can you post emerge --info please.
Oh, processors: PIII-800, Athlon-MP-2100(2), Athlon-XP-1800, Athlon-Tbird-1000, I think I ran enough GCCs at a time :-D Though: Do you by any chance have different GCC versions on some of the boxes? distcc detects version mismatches by VERSION NUMBER ALONE, so if you have say 3.2.2-r1 and 3.2.2-r3 on gentoo (which make slightly different binaries) you may have problems only when you go to parallel build, because only under parallel do any procs get exported.
no problems across 5 single proc boxes here -j10
Sorry about this, had 2 of the boxes still running distcc 1.2.3, upded them to 2.0.1 and now everything works.
It's nice when it's this easy. Thanks all.
