[distcc] distcc failed to parse "-x c" and "-x c++" compiler flags and to pass -nostdinc to distcc server

Hi,

having problem with gcce compiler from CSL Arm Toolchain using distcc,
command arguments parsing problem, description bellow...


      According to distcc FAQ:


          Compiler command line parsing problems?

    distcc parses the compiler command line to work out what operation
    is being invoked, and what are the input and output files. The
    semantics of gcc command lines is fairly complex, and has changed
    slightly over time. There may be some valid command lines that
    distcc understands differently to gcc, though none are known at the
    moment. These ought to cause the command to be run locally, but it
    is possible that it would cause a failure. Either case should be
    reported as a bug.

Using:
- Cygwin
- distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-cygwin (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632)
  built Apr 25 2005 11:10:45

As I see there is no newer version for cygwin, and on
http://distcc.samba.org/download.html the same is available as source

Using: CSL Arm Toolchain with gcce compiler for ARM, building binaries
for Symbian OS
arm-none-symbianelf-g++.exe (GCC) 3.4.3 (release) (CodeSourcery ARM Q1C
2005)

*Problem 1:*
This compiler has option to tell which compiler to use, c or cpp, option is:
  -x <language>            Specify the language of the following input files
                           Permissible languages include: c c++
assembler none
                           'none' means revert to the default behavior of
                           guessing the language based on the file's
extension
If I pass -x c to
  distcc.exe arm-none-symbianelf-g++.exe ... *-x c* ...
I get
arm-none-symbianelf-g++.exe: warning: `-x c' after last input file has
no effect
arm-none-symbianelf-g++.exe: no input files

With *-x c++* there is no warning, but I am not sure if it handle that.

*Problem 2:*
There is compiler flag *-nostdinc* which does not cause problems to
distcc.exe calling preprocessor, but this option is not passed to
distccd server. It seems that distcc.exe does not recognize it, so it
ignores this.

Best regards
Thanks,
 Tihomir Heidelberg
