I unmasked distcc to see if it would actually work on my Leopard 10.5 prefix. It worked fine keywording the ebuild with ~x86-macos and testing with $ ebuild distcc-2.18.3-r12.ebuild digest install It then promptly failed when I tried emerge distcc as it had a masked dependency on unifdef. I keyworded unifdef and compiled it fine using ebuild, but when I went to emerge it, I found there was a file collision with darwin-miscutils-5, which also seems to be installing unifdef itself. This may require a virtual/unifdef, or making a dependency on either darwin-miscutils or unifdef instead of just unifdef.

the dependency has been extended to also be satisfied by darwin-miscutils, thanks.
