Doubt on masquerading ..

Hi all,
 We have quite a few development machines in our swarm, and we use the masquerading way of compiling. From the distccd manual which states that if we are in masquerading mode, then the distccd server has to search its PATH for locating the real compiler. I do understand that distcc sends the compiler name and not the complete path to the server, since the volunteers might have the compiler installed in different locations. But, in our case, all the compilers are installed in the same location. So, is there a way to make distcc send the complete PATH to the remote distccd so that distccd doesn't end up searching the PATH for the compiler.

Thanks,
Sarathy

No, I don't think so.  I don't see why you'd want to either?

If the server is getting into a loop, just make sure the PATH is set
correctly (ie not including distcc) before starting distccd.
