I have the same issue on my amd64 box - symlinks are installed into root directory. Should i post a new bug for it?
(In reply to comment #2) > I have the same issue on my amd64 box - symlinks are installed into root > directory. Should i post a new bug for it? > It seems that it is bug in portage-2.1.9.2. A DCCC_PATH variable setted at beginning of ebuild are not seen in src_install() and it also missing in /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/distcc-3.1-r4/build-info/environment.bz2 I found that this strange behavior caused by underscore in variable name. So I deleted underscores from variable names in ebuild (see following patch) and distcc was emerged correctly: symlinks was on their right place: /usr/lib64/distcc/bin P.S. Downgrading to stable portage-2.1.8.3 also fixes this issue.

> I found that this strange behavior caused by underscore in variable name. This is wrong. DCCC_PATH is explicitly filtered by portage, underscore doesn't matter. Commit introduced this bug: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=2da227e57f695dc173b22802443084c5fec539b0
I was lead to believe this was an ARM problem by a stupid mistake of mine. I updated the summary to be more appropriate.
This is fixed in git: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=c8d1bcd28c29802dc2bc1f7ac9d6df475ff4700d
This is fixed in 2.1.9.6 and 2.2_rc82.
