I ran: ./autogen.sh ./configure make

and got this: gcc -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_GNU_SOURCE -DSYSCONFDIR="\"/etc\"" -DPKGDATADIR="\"/usr/share/distcc\"" -Isrc -I"./src" -I"./lzo" -Werror -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Wformat-security -MD -W -Wall -Wimplicit -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Waggregate-return -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wmissing-declarations -Wuninitialized -D_REENTRANT -pthread -o src/zeroconf.o -c src/zeroconf.c src/zeroconf.c: In function 'dcc_zeroconf_add_hosts': src/zeroconf.c:601:18: error: ignoring return value of 'chdir', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result] cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

A work-around is to configure with

./configure --disable-Werror

Thanks! Would be great if you could fix that by default!

Here's a patch. Can you please review it and let me know if it looks good to you?
