[distcc] distcc under OSX [Warning: no sendfile implementation on this platform]

[David Brennan]

I just downloaded and built the latest distcc under OSX 10.5.2. My  
goal is actually to use it for an embedded system so I will be using  
it with a cross compiler. The cross compiler is i386-elf-gcc. It is  
version 4.0.4.

I tested distcc with no hosts defined, and it worked fine (emitting  
warnings with each compile, as expected).

I added a host which is using the cygwin version of distcc. It has the  
same cross compiler built, in the same location.

I get this error message when trying to run the make on my OS X machine.

distcc[65245] (sys_sendfile) Warning: no sendfile implementation on  
this platform
followed shortly by this one:
distcc[65245] ERROR: compile ./xxx.cpp on 192.168.10.100 failed with  
exit code 53

Is this a problem with my OS X build? The cygwin package is also  
version 2.18.3.
There were no warnings during the configure under OSX.
There were a lot of compiler warnings, but no errors.
Is there an option that I should pass to configure to support OSX?


distcc was built using the native compiler under OS X (XCode 3.0, I  
believe).
