That does NOT preserve compatibility -- that is a kludge work-around that people would have to adopt, not a preservation of existing calling methods. Since you keep suggesting proxy scripts, why don't you write one that parses command-line options and sets environment variables and runs distcc?

Which would make it nearly impossible to separate the distcc args from the CC args. ..wayne.. __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/distcc
