there is this workaround:

$ emerge --noreplace setarch
$ setarch ppc
$ emerge mozilla-firefox

This works, thanks !

Created an attachment (id=111147) [edit]
mozilla-ppc64-32bit.patch

this patch applies on top of the current ppc64 mozilla patch and fixes the
issues we have with 32bit userland for me (tested!).

mozilla: could you please add this patch to the next patchset? (there is no
need for a hurry I think)

Added to CVS, and bumped patchset which includes it. Version 0.3 for 2.0.0.2.

Thanks for the patch and testing!

thanks. works like a charm!

Would you consider something similar for thunderbird?

Is this broken in thunderbird also? If so, please open a new bug.
Where did this patch come from? Is it back upstream now?

Yes, it affects thunderbird too. But i don't know if it affects the 1.5.x
series. In firefox we apply this patch in the 2.0 series, but not in the 1.5.
I plan to apply this patch to thunderbird 2.0 asap. However, i will not apply
this patch to 1.5 series, as ppc64 doesn't have firefox nor thunderbird
keyworded :)

And no, it's not applied upstream. Feel free to open a bug :)

Reopening, with that patch building ff in pure ppc64 fails, same happens with
amd64 btw.

now this is stupid.. this shouldn't fail on ppc64/64-bit userland, because it
does exactly the same as in security/coreconf/Linux.mk.

and this just cannot fail on amd64 due to this patch as it enters this if
statement only if OS_TEST returns "Linuxppc64"... but as you said it does...

heh.. but let me check this.

But if this patch does break amd64 it should be removed again - quickly.

it seems like USE_64 isn't "seen" in
xpcom/reflect/xptcall/src/md/unix/Makefile.in

It does only work for ppc64/32bit userland, because "ifeq ($(USE_64),1)"
returns "false" then.

I'm not sure why this would break amd64...

mozilla: I'm sorry, but could you please remove this patch again? I'll do a
proper patch and submit it here, when it's (really) ready. Sorry for the
trouble this patch causes. :-/

Sorry i didn't explained myself. With amd64 we have the same problem, wrt
32bits ul, bug 168893, when applying a patch based on yours(which is not
included in the patchset right now). As you said, i think it's related that
USE_64 doesn't work.

I'm in #-ppc64 if you want to see how can we do this.

Just a note for you, Markus.

I think i have the solution to this. So no need to looking more into this. 
Brent gave me access to his quad and i've tried with both gcc3(32 and 64bits)
and gcc4 profiles of 2006.1 and seems fine.

I'm waiting to get the reports back and i'll apply this to all the mozilla
products :)

Fixed in:
mozilla-firefox 2.0.0.2, patchset 2.0.0.2-0.4
mozilla-thunderbird 2.0_beta2, patchset 2.0_beta2-0.3
seamonkey 1.1.1, patchset 1.1.1-0.1
mozilla-sunbird 0.3.1, patchset 0.3.1-0.1
xulrunner 1.8.0.4, patchset 1.8.0.4-0.9
