Description Sumit Khanna 2004-04-02 08:08:46 UTC
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)
