Description John Richard Moser 2004-03-13 22:14:21 UTC

Filter out FEATURES="distcc" with FEATURES="-distcc" for nvidia-kernel please, it breaks it.  I went back and fort testing this, it is distcc.

Care to be a little more verbose in your claim?  Such as, post what fails and how it fails?

Comment 2 John Richard Moser 2004-03-17 09:36:43 UTC

the nvidia kernel gets the GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE, __guard, and __stack_smash_handler symbols.  This in itself happens with or without distcc; however, when using distcc, for some reason loading the module spits out these three symbols as "Unresolved symbols."  I haven't found exactly why; distcc supposedly preprocesses on the client side, so it shouldn't be kernel header problems.

Which versions of the nvidia-kernel are effected?

Are you using the same GCC versions on all volunteer machines?
Are you using hardened-gcc on any machine?
