It seems that even with the same gcc versions, gcc built against libc
w/o TLS support generates __stack_chk_guard, so if you mix the two
flavors, the has-stack-protector check can be compiled on machines w/
TLS while some other files end up being built on machines w/o TLS
support thus circumventing the support check. Can you please see
whether non-distcc build fails too?

Thanks.
