Bug 294156 – Error building with sys-devel/gcc-4.3.4, sys-devel/distcc-3.1-r4, dev-util/kbuild-0.1.5-r1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Raffaello D. Di Napoli 2009-11-23 11:12:37 UTC]

Hi all, I’m having problems trying to build virtualbox-ose-3.0.12 using these:
sys-devel/gcc-4.3.4
sys-devel/distcc-3.1-r4
dev-util/kbuild-0.1.5-r1

I believe bug 262440 and bug 272391 are related, which leads me into thinking VirtualBox has nothing to do with the bug (without distcc, it builds just fine), hence the bug summary not mentioning it.

If relevant (I don’t think so), my distcc “network” includes a Core 2 Duo and an Athlon XP; both run Gentoo Linux and are always updated in sync (so, same gcc/distcc/kbuild); the build subject of this report took place on the C2D.

Also probably irrelevant, I can use distcc just fine with any other build, and I also used it to rebuild the kernel; all of this still on the C2D.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge distcc
2. Include FEATURES=distcc in /etc/make.conf
3. emerge virtualbox-ose

Actual Results:  
Compiling fails on the first C/C++ source file, with this error (one or more occurrences, owing to distcc parallelism):

i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: argument to '-o' is missing
distcc[<PID>] ERROR: compile (null) on <host> failed

where <PID> and <host> may vary.

See attached build log for details.

Expected Results:  
Build successful, exactly like it happens without FEATURES=distcc.

The two involved computers have identical Portage configuration, except for processor-related CFLAGS and USE flags. This is from where the build takes place, the C2D:
