emerge --info

Just ran an emerge --sync and tried updating to the latest version of x11-drivers/xf86-video-virtualbox. The compile is failing with "g++: error: missing filename after '-o'".

Why do you get this error in `emerge --info`?

Your g++ is odd, there is a file name behind the -o each time; CC-ing hardened.

The distcc error message is there because I didn't run `emerge --info` as root. If I run it as root the line where the distcc error is instead says "distcc 3.1 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu". Otherwise the output of `emerge --info` is identical.

I ran emerge with `FEATURES="-distcc"` and the compile succeded! It seems the ebuild or one of the makescripts aren't setup to work with distcc or the package is just incompatable with distcc.

Don't look as a hardened problem. The bugreporter is not on the hardened profile.

Observing the same running with FEATURES=distcc. Can't we just override the FEATURE in the ebuild?

[Comment 7 Mick Semb Wever 2015-10-13 04:07:58 UTC]

Same problem with FEATURES="distcc" against both kbuild.
(A dependency required by virtualbox).

build.log for app-emulation/virtualbox-5.0.12

This resurficed with app-emulation/virtualbox-5.0.12 :-|
Looks to me like the same bug, someone pleas update (broaden) the bug subject.

!!! When you file a bug report, please include the following information:
GENTOO_VM=  CLASSPATH="" JAVA_HOME="/etc/java-config-2/current-system-vm"
JAVACFLAGS="" COMPILER=""

The interesting thing is that this doesn't even hit distcc, I had enabled debug log both on local machine and the (only one) remote, but no messages appeared.

Still happening all the way up to the latest virtualbox driver (5.1.8).
I've worked around this by turning off distcc and set makeopts to one thread.
FEATURES="-distcc" MAKEOPTS="-j1" emerge xf86-video-virtualbox
