I'd say that the GCC & binutils projects absolutely care about security issues. There's simply not many of them for those projects to deal with.
perhaps, but the point still stands -- it is fairly trivial to make binutils/gcc crash in pretty much every release, and neither project today cares about treating security bugs specially.
This is really outside the GCC/binutils area. These are really a problem with how sites configure distcc. Obviously distccd will run with whatever user privs it's configured for.i imagine there are plenty of other flags to do fun things like this since there are compiler, preprocessor, and assembler flags to choose from. i don't think distcc runs the linker in parallel, otherwise that'd open up even more stuff.
