http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/avahi-distcc.html Some very useful stuff there. From http://lists.samba.org/archive/distcc/2007q4/003593.html "Distribution Maintainers, please consider merging this patch into your distribution's packages now, since distcc maintainership upstream seems to be, uh..., dormant. Zeroconf support in distcc is such a cool feature, it would be a pity to deprive your users of it any longer!"
https://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/dev/betelgeuse/sys-devel/distcc The patch needs to be modified so that there are ./configure switches.
Patch committed.
