[SOLVED] Distcc building fails with "final Link failed"

Piulena · Last edited by Piulena on Sat Oct 15, 2016 9:40 am; edited 1 time in total

So i have 2 machines.
Both are running gcc 5.4.0.
When trying to build, everything seems to work until it goes linking where it stops.

final Link failed: Bad Value

From the Clients make.conf:
march="-march=corei7-avx -O2 -pipe -fPIC"
FEATURES="distcc distcc-pump"

Hi there,

AFAIK, the linking only happens locally on the client machine. So could you try to put

What package failed? Some packages cannot be compiled with distcc.

dr_wulsen, i tried both linkers and setting your suggested var, didnt help.
pretty much any package that links fails.

Do you have the same versions of:
*gcc
*glibc
*linux-headers
*binutils
on all machines?

I had linking failures, due to one machine having binutils 2.25.1-r1 and the other 2.26.1
This would result in a happy compiling slave machine, and an angry host that could not link the object files together due to format differences.

First step is to ensure that all four packages are the exact same version on all involved machines.

You could try to compile a helloworld.c remotely via distcc and link it locally, just to see what happens with very basic programs.

Yep, they are both running the exact same Version.
Nano for example compiles just fine.

I may have the exact same versions, but forgot switching to the latest binutils Version.
That Fixed it - thank you!

Wohoo, a problem fixed!

Can you please edit your original post to include [SOLVED] in the title?
That's what the admins told me to do with my solved posts

Glad it got fixed, happy distributed compiling!
