[ARMedslack] Setting up Slackware-current (> 2010/07/29) as a new distccd server

[Niels Horn]

Hi,

I just added an extra box as a server for my distcc setup, but this
one uses Slackware-current.
Running the 'bwl' script from devtools fails after a while with:

Makefile:235: *** mixed implicit and normal rules.  Stop.

I traced this back to the new make version (3.82) in -current and
found a fix from the LFS guys, running a sed command to change the
manual/Makefile.
The following patch to the x-build script solves it:

--- x-build.orig        2010-09-05 08:27:53.000000000 -0300
+++ x-build     2010-09-05 09:00:28.000000000 -0300

Hope this is useful for other people running into this :)
