Using version:
2.18.3
3.0rc2

Platform:
redhat linux x86_64
building from source using gcc4.3.0

trying to:
build own project using eclipse 3.4 (ganymede) with cdt

what went wrong:
it fails to distribute the job, since eclipse cdt does not add a space
between options "-MF", "-MT" but the comments in arg.c states that those
options are ok for distributing - but it does not check if flag and
argument are indeed separated by a space

Example:
distcc g++ -I../include -I../example
-I../extern/noarch/mysql/5.0.51a/include
-I../extern/noarch/mysqlpp/3.0.0/include -O0 -g3 -Wall -c
-fmessage-length=0 -Wno-deprecated -MMD -MP -MF"apps/apps.d"
-MT"apps/apps.d" -o"apps/apps.o" "../apps/apps.cpp"

all clients are connected by ssh and have varieing numbers of processors,
all with the lzo option

Solution:
We fixed that by replacing the strcmp function with a strncmp function,
that only compares the first n characters.
Our project compiles just fine with that - but we might have overlooked
something.
