Looks like the following change in gnulib is causing the distcc breakage: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commit;h=285334ca5ac8f537bc183abd121aa68984e5a515

*** Bug 670755 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Comment 4 onkobu 2018-12-01 09:23:00 UTC]

emerging without distcc yields successful installation. Would it be sufficient to show a warning upon distcc-detection?

[Comment 5 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) 2018-12-08 19:33:27 UTC]

See updated tracker bug: This is caused by FEATURES=distcc-pump. Using distcc without pump feature works.

[Comment 6 Matt Turner 2020-03-28 02:41:27 UTC]

FEATURES=distcc-pump has been removed from portage.
