I had a similar problem with distcc. Not a stack smashing attack |
| 6 |
though. Distcc should not be used to emerge any core packages such as |
| 7 |
python, portage, gcc etc. The compilation of python went wrong and |
| 8 |
hence rendered my system useless. I ended up having to reinstall |
| 9 |
unfortunately since my emerge was broke even typing emerge threw up |
| 10 |
errors. |

So let this serve as a warning to those thinking of using distcc. Make |
| 13 |
sure your compilers are the same and that you are not emerging |
| 14 |
critical packages. |
