[distcc] solaris execvp/e2big problem

[Corrado Giacomini]

Well,
I find out htat the problem was my compilation script.
As suggested in  distcc documentation I have created a shell script on 
both the  volunteer machine where I run distccd and the local machine 
where  I invoke distcc.
The script was missing the interpreter as first line, so I add it and it 
now it work fine..

#!/bin/bash
/usr/gnu/gcc31/bin/gcc -b sparc-sun-solaris2.7  -V 3.1.1 $*
