Gcc now has an option as @file to specify extra command line options from "file". Distcc has implemented support for this in the 3 recent commits https://github.com/distcc/distcc/commits/master/src/distcc.c Now at least net-libs/webkit-gtk uses this gcc feature, making build fail if distcc-3.2_rc1-r5 is installed. Therefore backport this feature makes sense if distcc maintainers does not make a new release in a timely manner. https://github.com/distcc/distcc/issues/163 Reproducible: Always
There are new releases with this already, so I guess there's no point in backporting it. There might be a point in stabilizing a newer version though.
