I had a similar problem with distcc. Not a stack smashing attack
though. Distcc should not be used to  emerge any core packages such as
python, portage, gcc etc. The compilation of python went wrong and
hence rendered my system useless. I ended up having to reinstall
unfortunately since my emerge was broke even typing emerge threw up
errors.

So let this serve as a warning to those thinking of using distcc. Make
sure your compilers are the same and that you are not emerging
critical packages.
