[gentoo-user] Distcc using a x86-hardened and a pentium4 host

[gentoo-user] Distcc using a x86-hardened and a pentium4 host

[Kai Kuehne]

Hi.
I have a server and I'm planning to install the 2006.0 x86-hardened stage 3.
I want to use distcc for the server and my laptop.

My question:
Is the hardened x86 gcc and the normal pentium4-stage gcc compatible?

Thank You
Kai

Hi,
Not 100 % sure but think that you can't use 'distcc' with hardened & vanilla 
profiles, even if gcc versions are the same.
These profiles have different compile flags, etc.
Some time ago here (ML) there were an error message due to use if hardened & 
normal GCC (python segfault IIRC) using "distcc".

Thanks!
Does anyone know that architecture is better?
Should I use x86 or i686 instead of amd64 to make distcc between my
server and my laptop(pentium4 profile) work?

Greetings :)

Hi,
Just some directions, as i don't use it (distcc).
First check the distcc-doc in gentoo.org.
Then read (/etc/make.conf.example) about setting your CFLAGS.
IIRC there's at least three "-march=", "-mcpu=" and "-mtune=".
By memory (for example) -mtune=pentium4 give your generated code which is 
backward compatible with i686.
But don't just believe me, check first. Someone else here?
PS: also better use the sama GCC version on both machines.

Here is the gentoo distcc guild that says you should not run distcc on
hardened host for a not hardened system. 
http://mirror.eacoss.org/documentation/gentoo/distcc.html

However, I currently have an amd64 system that runs distccd that my
celeron laptop and p3 media pc use with no issues.

Hm. For me, crossdev stops compilation at gcc stage2.
But because of some packages I essentially need on the server
I have to switch to i686 anyway.
