Bug 837506 – app-editors/emacs-28.1[jit] fails to configure with FEATURES="distcc"

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Maciej S. Szmigiero 2022-04-09 16:24:36 UTC]

app-editors/emacs-28.1[jit] fails to configure when distcc is enabled:
> checking for gcc_jit_context_acquire in -lgccjit... yes
> checking libgccjit.h usability... yes
> checking libgccjit.h presence... yes
> checking for libgccjit.h... yes
> configure: error: The installed libgccjit failed to compile and run a test program using
> the libgccjit library; see config.log for the details of the failure.
> The test program can be found here:
> <https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/jit/intro/tutorial01.html>.
> You can try compiling it yourself to investigate the issues.
> Please report the issue to your distribution if libgccjit was installed
> through that.
> You can find the instructions on how to compile and install libgccjit from
> source on this site:
> <https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/JIT>.

The relevant config.log snippet is:
> configure:16621: checking for libgccjit.h
> configure:16621: result: yes
> configure:16685: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -o conftest  -march=ivybridge -pipe -O2 -I/usr/include/librsvg-2.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/lib64/libffi/include -I/usr/include/libmount -I/usr/include/blkid -I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/libpng16 -pthread -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/harfbuzz  -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/lib64/libffi/include -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/harfbuzz -I/usr/include/libpng16      -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed  conftest.c -lgccjit -lX11   -lcairo  >&5

The package does configure and build successfully with FEATURES="-distcc".

This is similar to bug #801580 but for distcc instead of ccache.

Attached the failed build.log and a proposed trivial patch that fixes the issue for me.

If whole "emerge --info" data turns out to be also necessary here would prefer to share it privately.
