Building an a clean chroot with distcc is very slow
In the past, I have been able to build packages in a clean chroot using distcc, but recently (past month or so), the build from within the root fails to distribute out the other distcc nodes at the same rate as before. I based this statement on the build time for the same package being much longer than before. For example:
Building the linux kernel (just make bzImage) in the build function:
* Running makepkg on the localhost only (no distccd) takes 3m 25s
* Running makechrootpkg setup to build on the localhost only (no distccd) takes 3m 22s
Conclusion: both give the same result
* Running makepkg configured to use distccd takes 2m 19s
* Running makechrootpkg configured to use distccd takes 14m 52s
Conclusion: something is wrong 
Steps to reproduce:
1) Have distccd started and configured to run properly on the host OS and on other nodes on the network.
2) Run: mkarchroot ~/.chroot64/root base-devel distcc
3) Edit ~/.chroot64/root/etc/makepkg.conf to a) enable distcc b) adjust MAKEFLAGS and c) define DISTCC_HOSTS
4) Try to build for example the linux package: makechrootpkg -c -r ~/.chroot64
