distcc should already use its lock files to limit the number of jobs run on localhost. This only applies when the linker is invoked via distcc though. If it's run just as "ld" then there's nothing distcc can do. In this case you can use make's -l option. -- Martin __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/distcc
