[gentoo-dev] distcc and precompiled headers

[Caleb Tennis]

Based on some recent findings, it looks like the two above mentioned features don't
work together.  pch don't get distributed to distcc nodes, so they're basically
mutually exclusive.  However, distcc is a FEATURE and pch are a USE flag.

Should we just put a check in each ebuild that uses the pch use flag, make an
eclass, or build something into the package manager(s) ?  Thoughts?

I'd go with a 'pch' utility eclass, and have packages that IUSE pch add
a call in pkg_setup (which would either die, or disable distcc).

On a related note, we had a discussion on bug #128810 a while back about
whether the package manager should be doing distcc and ccache at all,
anyway.  Personally I think the package manager shouldn't be involved in
that at all.
