you can build if you disable crashreporter I will look into the issue more on thursday when I am back from a long road trip.
If you could please attach /usr/include/sys/ucontext.h would be helpful in getting this fixed.

Same problem here (2005 iBook G4).
Created attachment 298977 [details] emerge --info on the iBook G4
Looking in my sys/ucontext.h, I see the following (truncated to the relevant parts). <pre> /* Userlevel context. */ typedef struct ucontext { [...] union uc_regs_ptr { struct pt_regs *regs; mcontext_t *uc_regs; } uc_mcontext; [...] } ucontext_t; </pre> In my case, this files belongs to sys-libs/glibc-2.12.2.
*** Bug 399457 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
For now my recommendation is to mask crashreporter useflag, this will keep ppc moving forward with mozilla products until we can decide how we will fix it.
First I apologize for failing to find this bug, (I did look...) Here is result on PowerPC64 from 399457 Firefox 9.0 seems to work on PowerPC64 However the crash report parts won't build on ppc64 so *must* set USE="-crashreporter" Pls keyword ~ppc64 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="**" USE="-crashreporter" emerge -av firefox 2. 3.

Masked USE crashreporter in arch/powerpc/package.use.mask and keyworded www-client/firefox-9.0 with ~ppc64, as it already had ~ppc.
The build does complete succesfully without the crashreporter USE flag. However, it also disable de session recovery functionnalities.
(In reply to comment #13) > The build does complete succesfully without the crashreporter USE flag. > However, it also disable de session recovery functionnalities. that is bad, and this was of course only meant as a temporary solution and hence this bug is still open. patches welcome.
(In reply to comment #13) > The build does complete succesfully without the crashreporter USE flag. > However, it also disable de session recovery functionnalities. Could you give an example? If I kill a running 'firefox' on my ppc64 and then start it again, it gives a dialog box saying "Well, this is embarassing..." but if I click "Restore" it restores the session OK. I have seen this behaviour on other builds also so I am not sure it is related to 'crashreporter'.
I killall'd -9 firefox twice (the first $n$ times, it usually tries to restore directly). After the second time, instead of restoring my tabs, it starts a session with only one tab, trying to load URL about:sessionrestore which immediately triggers an alert box saying that “[t]he URL is not valid and cannot be loaded.” My Firefox 9.0 is compiled for PPC with the following USE flags: (alsa dbus libnotify webm -bindist -crashreporter -custom-cflags -custom-optimization -debug -ipc -linguas_af -linguas_ak -linguas_ar -linguas_ast -linguas_be -linguas_bg -linguas_bn -linguas_bn_BD -linguas_bn_IN -linguas_br -linguas_bs -linguas_ca -linguas_cs -linguas_cy -linguas_da -linguas_de -linguas_el -linguas_en -linguas_en_GB -linguas_en_US -linguas_en_ZA -linguas_eo -linguas_es -linguas_es_AR -linguas_es_CL -linguas_es_ES -linguas_es_MX -linguas_et -linguas_eu -linguas_fa -linguas_fi -linguas_fr -linguas_fy -linguas_fy_NL -linguas_ga -linguas_ga_IE -linguas_gd -linguas_gl -linguas_gu -linguas_gu_IN -linguas_he -linguas_hi -linguas_hi_IN -linguas_hr -linguas_hu -linguas_hy -linguas_hy_AM -linguas_id -linguas_is -linguas_it -linguas_ja -linguas_kk -linguas_kn -linguas_ko -linguas_ku -linguas_lg -linguas_lt -linguas_lv -linguas_mai -linguas_mk -linguas_ml -linguas_mr -linguas_nb -linguas_nb_NO -linguas_nl -linguas_nn -linguas_nn_NO -linguas_nso -linguas_or -linguas_pa -linguas_pa_IN -linguas_pl -linguas_pt -linguas_pt_BR -linguas_pt_PT -linguas_rm -linguas_ro -linguas_ru -linguas_si -linguas_sk -linguas_sl -linguas_son -linguas_sq -linguas_sr -linguas_sv -linguas_sv_SE -linguas_ta -linguas_ta_LK -linguas_te -linguas_th -linguas_tr -linguas_uk -linguas_vi -linguas_zh -linguas_zh_CN -linguas_zh_TW -linguas_zu -pgo -startup-notification -system-sqlite -wifi) The only difference with before, apart from the version change, is the -crashreporter, as suggested above to make 9.0 compile.
Until crashreporter is ported to powerpc and other arch I am closing, soon as porting is complete we will get crashreporter unmasked.
