I was trying to use distcc to compile gnome 2.6. In doing so I noticed there were a lot of packages that would hang on the configure check for the suffixof object files as shown: checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... It will just hang there if I set distcc in the features variable in make.conf. On packages where this check either isn't present or doesn't hang, the distcc works fine. An example of a program I had this problem with is libsoup-1.99.28. There are others. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. setup a computer for distcc as described in the gentoo guide 2. emerge a utility with a "checking for suffix of object files" check like libsoup 3. wait for it to hang Actual Results: configure script hung for several mintues before I terminated it with Ctrl+C Expected Results: finished the configure script and start to build the program
Please provide the following information: 1) output from `emerge info` on each machine in your /etc/distcc/hosts file including the machine issuing the emerge (for which this bug is for) 2) errors from the log(s) on the client machines 3) output from `DISTCC_VERBOSE='1' DISTCC_LOG='/tmp/distcc.log.txt' emerge PACKGE` (make an attachment)
