pump mode & compile linux kernel: possible?

[Joey Korkames-4]

As has been noted elsewhere...

...pump-mode and a linux-kernel build do not get along -
distcc quickly degrades to standard mode. Is anybody currently using
pump mode to compile linux that could share any hints?
The manapage's notes are out-of-date and do not resolve the problem - I can
provide build logs if needed.

Thanks

From the "bench/ProjectDefs.py" file in the distcc sources:

Project(url='http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2',
        md5='db95a49a656a3247d4995a797d333153 *linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2',
        configure_cmd="make V=1 HOSTCC='$(CC)' defconfig",
        build_cmd="make V=1 HOSTCC='$(CC)' bzImage",
        include_server_args='--stat_reset_triggers=include/linux/compile.h:include/asm/asm-offsets.h'
        ).register()
 
So, try setting the INCLUDE_SERVER_ARGS environment variable to --stat_reset_triggers=include/linux/compile.h:include/asm/asm-offsets.h, and use the commands listed above (configure_cmd and build_cmd) to configure and build, e.g.

export INCLUDE_SERVER_ARGS=--stat_reset_triggers=include/linux/compile.h:include/asm/asm-offsets.h
make V=1 HOSTCC='$(CC)' defconfig
pump make V=1 HOSTCC='$(CC)' bzImage

Does that solve the problem?
