with kernel 4.14.9 I get this error after my usual procedure, which
is
cp /proc/config.gz
gunzip config.gz
cp config .config
make silentoldconfig
make -j12
the error is:
| Code: | make -j12

I don't know but there is a file in linux/tools/build/fixdep.c that may be supposed to build fixdep.o ??? 
quick edit: this is upgrading from 4.14.8-r1

You can simply that to | Code: | zcat /proc/config.gz >.config
make silentoldconfig
make -j12 |
However I prefer:
| Code: | #!
cd /usr/src/linux
zcat /proc/config.gz >.config
make oldconfig
make menuconfig
make -j4 && make -j4 modules_install && make -j4 install && echo "Don't forget to update boot loader menu"
emerge @module-rebuild |
run as an executable script. If you don't see the message you know it failed.
make oldconfig vs make silentoldconfig gives you a chance to choose to change rather than just taking the defaults. For instance, the default for new drivers is usually "yes" or "M". But I don;t want them in my kernel if I don't have the hardware.
If you don have any other changes, it's easy enough to just quit the menuconfig. I've thought of making it an option but my scripting skills are poor. |

thanks jaglover; forgot to re-emerge distcc after upgrading gcc 
also thanks Tony0945 - those are good tips

spoke too soon; even with distcc bin files pointing to the new gcc,
I still get the error
say ... do I need the objc* use flags turned on in gcc ? (never did before but ...)
edit: to make clear, the kernel builds fine (if slowly) with distcc disabled

there's now a bug about this:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/642378
and a simple fix is in the works (the patch for distcc-3.1 just
needs to be applied to later versions)
