This patch is needed for mozilla-firefox/thunderbird >=2, seamonkey >=1.1.1 and maybe anything that builds from mozilla sources on Gentoo/FreeBSD for them to compile and work properly.
Created attachment 112468 [details, diff] mozilla-fbsd.patch The patch is made for firefox but applies with some fuzz to seamonkey. I haven't tested it yet against thunderbird but it should apply there as well (and it's needed there too) By the way, no harm done to linux since these modifications only appear inside FreeBSD conditionals.
(In reply to comment #1) Yes, most of the patches apply for all the mozilla products(and if they only touch configures or makefiles they can be applied to all products, as they use the same crap build system for all of them). Btw the patch to nsprpub is not needed, as we don't use the included nspr/nss. How is that nss worked without patching it? Or i am missing something?

Still works?
(In reply to comment #4) > > I meant nspr :) What about without applying the nspr patch? Still works? > Hmm IIRC I still missed -lpthread in some places and the build failed by just patching the main configure.in, that's why (then) I looked for other places where it might be needed and nsprpub/configure.in came up. Anyway, the whole patch is just fixing *very* outdated(2003/2004?) checks, I think it's fine to apply it to both files.
Fixed in: mozilla-firefox 2.0.0.2, patchset 2.0.0.2-0.5 mozilla-thunderbird 2.0_beta2, patchset 2.0_beta2-0.4 seamonkey 1.1.1, patchset 1.1.1-0.2 mozilla-sunbird 0.3.1, patchset 0.3.1-0.2 xulrunner 1.8.0.4, patchset 1.8.0.4-1.0 Happy keywording!
