Yesterday, `distcc` has been upgraded to 3.3 in Alpine Linux (`edge` branch, which is what we use). distcc uses a [white-list for allowed compiler names now](https://github.com/distcc/distcc/commit/d849ca2bcf67126aedd09a649f1a402cd29ac46a), which means we need to fill up that white-list with our cross compilers in order to still have them working. Actually, the white-list are a bunch of symlinks that need to have the allowed compiler's name and point to `/usr/bin/distcc`. In `pmbootstrap` we are masquerading the compiler names already by using paths like `/usr/lib/arch-bin-masquerade/aarch64/gcc`. We need to change that workflow, because the white-listed compiler names [must not contain a path separator character](https://github.com/distcc/distcc/commit/d849ca2bcf67126aedd09a649f1a402cd29ac46a#diff-965c4f35878538102d646cb0734c140aR375). In addition, there's [built-in support for cross compilers](https://github.com/distcc/distcc/pull/244) in `distcc` now by automatically resolving compiler names to the fully qualified name (i.e. `x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc` instead of `gcc`). Unfortunately that did not work out of the box with our compilers when I tried it. I'm working on a proper fix. In the meantime, here's a patch that restores the old and insecure behavior (which allows all processes on your PC with TCP access to execute any program in the chroot with user rights, as the `--make-me-a-botnet` option indicates). Without any patching, distcc will fail and fall back to "native" compilation (that is, running the foreign arch GCC in QEMU). So it is slower, but still working. ```diff --- a/pmb/build/_package.py +++ b/pmb/build/_package.py @@ -351,6 +351,7 @@ def run_abuild(args, apkbuild, arch, strict=False, force=False, cross=None, env["CCACHE_PATH"] = "/usr/lib/arch-bin-masquerade/" + arch + ":/usr/bin" env["CCACHE_COMPILERCHECK"] = "string:" + get_gcc_version(args, arch) env["DISTCC_HOSTS"] = "127.0.0.1:" + args.port_distccd + env["DISTCC_NO_CROSS_REWRITE"] = "1" # Build the abuild command cmd = ["abuild", "-D", "postmarketOS"] diff --git a/pmb/chroot/distccd.py b/pmb/chroot/distccd.py index 441841d6..7128ffc9 100644 --- a/pmb/chroot/distccd.py +++ b/pmb/chroot/distccd.py @@ -101,7 +101,8 @@ def generate_cmdline(args, arch): "--jobs", args.jobs, "--nice", "19", "--job-lifetime", "60", - "--daemon" + "--daemon", + "--make-me-a-botnet" ] if args.verbose: ret.append("--verbose") -- 2.18.0 ``` EDIT: `env["DISTCC_NO_CROSS_REWRITE"] = "1"` isn't even necessary.
