Well, I discovered some of my plugins stopped working on Firefox because
they've been updated to the new plugin format.
I've been using distcc for a long time now, and I've tried to build
firefox and it fails with:

----------
What I'm trying to figure out is if this is due to the recent python
changes or if it really is a distcc problem as per:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/662516
(I just noticed they tagged it wontfix. :( )
Has anyone found a solution for this other than disabling distcc
altogether? I'm going to try that now and see if it compiles.
If it does turn out to be distcc is there a method to disable distcc
just for the firefox package? The distcc article @ gentoo wiki doesn't
mention anything.
