[distcc] Re: distcc : multi A records - small timeout on connect [PATCH]

[Martin Pool]

Just a couple of other notes about the connect patch, for your
information:

 - It is not portable to rely on the value of the timeval argument to
   select() after the call.  Linux updates it to show the remaining
   time but other OSs may not.  I guess this does not exactly break
   your function but it is worth knowing. 

 - connect() should not be called repeated when trying a nonblocking
   connection.  It's different to read() and write().  Instead you
   connect() once to kick it off, and then select() until the socket
   is ready.
