Comment 2 William Throwe 2011-06-13 00:15:18 UTC
Found an upstream bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=632915

The build system hardcodes -mfloat-abi=softfp .  Unsurprisingly, this doesn't work.
Comment 3 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-06-24 15:03:34 UTC
The fix for this is adding  

mozconfig_annotate '' --with-cpu-arch=armv4t

for xulrunner.

On <armv6 we still have bug 372199

respect-cflags-on-arm.patch

This patch works for both firefox and xulrunner, so apply for both. The problem is that the mozilla buildsystem expects a --with-cpu-arch parameter _ONLY ON ARM_ and depending on the value it mangles the CFLAGS accordingly. If no value is passed, it defaults to armv7, therefore it doesn't work on armv5(maekke's subarchitecture).
So in our case, since we don't like packages mangling CFLAGS, we simply remove this stupid thing.

Upstream isn't going to like this patch, so forget about sending it. Debian builds for armv4t and it already removes this stuff, Ubuntu builds for armv7 only, so they don't have this issue, thats why this stupid thing is present.

libffi-arm-vfp.patch

After applying the above patch, we then run into this issue reported upstream:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=632915

Apply for both xulrunner and firefox.

Wrong upstream URL, this is the correct one: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644136
