[distcc] redeclared symbol error

[Lee Adamson]

OK, I think I have totally managed to confused you here...
/opt/gcc/cross/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/g++ is a Solaris compiler that produces 
Linux binaries...
qad25-lee [View: ** NONE **]: file /opt/gcc/cross/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/g++
/opt/gcc/cross/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/g++:	ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC 
Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped
qad25-lee [View: ** NONE **]: /opt/gcc/cross/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/g++ -c 
hello1.cc
qad25-lee [View: ** NONE **]: file hello1.o
hello1.o:	ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable 80386 Version 1

It should run fine on Solaris (and this is why I thought it would run fine with 
distcc)... So I think all my paths are correct and there is something nastier 
going on here...

	Lee.
