Thanks.  I submitted the fix.

I've submitted a fix for that one too.

That's not an _error_ message, that's a _warning_.

It is probably preceded by another message from distcc explaining why.

It is quite likely that you will get this warning for the final link
command -- distcc won't distributed link commands.
But if distcc is distributing the compile commands that precede the final
link command, everything may be working fine.

I'd start with looking at the full output from make, which should include
messages from the distcc client.

The distccd daemon log messages by default go to syslog, which in turn will
typically save them in one of /var/log/syslog, or /var/log/messages, or
maybe /var/log/distccd.log.  You can use the --log_file <filename> option
to distccd to save the logs to a particular file.
