Hmm, I haven't heard anything about this and have been using distcc on an x86 & athlon network. Each host seems to be doing the write thing as all of the machines are recently sync'd and built. What exactly were the nature of the changes and how does this introduce a bug? Also if it is truly a bug, why does the handbook still include the references to building using distcc? Wouldn't failures in distcc lead to more installation problems? The apparent stability of a gentoo-based system would then be subject to question, not something I'd like to see happen... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
