I have /etc/distcc/hosts configured with 4 local builds, and 6 distibuted =20
builds.

When I run 'make -j 10' myself, the build gets correctly distributed. But =20
something strange happens when I try to use rpmbuild.

I have rpmbuild properly configured to run 'make -j 10'. And I see that t=
en =20
distcc instances get started, but only for localhost builds appear to be =20
running, and the remaining processes wait until a localhost slot becomes =20
available, before spawning off g++.

I strace-d the entire rpmbuild.

What I see is that distcc never reads /etc/distcc/hosts, and just proceed=
s =20
to run a local build.

When I run 'make -j 10' myself, this is what I see the distcc process doi=
ng:

17180 mkdir("/home/mrsam/.distcc", 0777 <unfinished =E2=80=A6>
17180 <=E2=80=A6 mkdir resumed> )             =3D -1 EEXIST (File exists)
17180 access("/home/mrsam/.distcc/hosts", R_OK) =3D -1 ENOENT (No such fi=
le or =20
directory)
17180 access("/etc/distcc/hosts", R_OK <unfinished =E2=80=A6>

=E2=80=A6 and so on.

When I strace an entire rpmbuild, the distcc process, instead, does this:

10068 mkdir("/home/mrsam/.distcc", 0777 <unfinished =E2=80=A6>
10068 <=E2=80=A6 mkdir resumed> )             =3D -1 EEXIST (File exists)
10068 mkdir("/home/mrsam/.distcc/lock", 0777 <unfinished =E2=80=A6>
10068 <=E2=80=A6 mkdir resumed> )             =3D -1 EEXIST (File exists)
10068 open("/home/mrsam/.distcc/lock/cpu_localhost_0", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT, =20
0666 <unfinished =E2=80=A6>

=E2=80=A6 and so on. What are the reasons distcc decides to skip checking =20
/etc/distcc/hosts? grepping the entire strace, distcc never tries to read =20
/etc/distcc/hosts.
