Bug 24758 – sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r1, dev-lang/python-2.2.3-r1 compile fails when using distcc

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sandy McArthur 2003-07-18 12:02:43 UTC]

When I compile glibc/python using distcc enabled portage the compile fails.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup distcc to work with portage
2. emerge glibc or pythong (or: -u system in my case)

Actual Results:  
The compile fails with an error about unreconized format.
Below is the error output from an attempted python emerge:

Parser/bitset.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Parser/pgen] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

!!! ERROR: dev-lang/python-2.2.3-r1 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 73, Exitcode 2
!!! Parallel make failed


Expected Results:  
glibc/python to compile correctly then be merged.

I'm just reporting this in case there is a way to say "this package doesn't play
well with distcc."

(I disabled distcc while I installed that latest glibc)

hmm works on my distcc. what version of distcc are you using on both the server and the client?

i dunno, but have you tried using less optimisations? there have been known problems with glibc and python using -march=pentium4 (try searching bugzilla for "pentium4 python"

It also worked on distcc-2.8-r2 here.

Sorry i didn't track this down more. I've narrowed the problem down to one of the nodes in our distcc cluster. I've marked this bugs as INVALID.
