Hi, I was just looking at the current gentoo distcc bugs.
It seems like some problems might be avoided if gentoo builds used an explicitly versioned compiler name, like gcc-3.3.1. That would trap any mismatched versions right away, and be both simpler and more reliable than trying to have distcc check them. It would also allow for machines to have several versions of gcc installed and their clients would use whichever one is appropriate. I certainly find that useful with machines which are on slightly different releases. The main catch here would be that masquerading alone might not be sufficient. You may need to explicitly set CC/CXX, and it will only work for packages that properly obey those variables. But I suspect that applies to most packages. -- Martin
