*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 188636 ***
Created attachment 130676 [details, diff] pango patch that compiles with gcc-4.2.x this is not a dupe of bug 188636 as can be seen from the different error message. The error has something to do 030-pango-cairo-1.patch. This patch was removed in the 2.0 series in favor of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=227072 (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338446) This patch applies fine also on the 1.5.x series and let mozilla-thunderbird-1.5.0.13 build. You have to remove the 030-pango-cairo-1.patch from the patchset and exchange it against the attachment
There are no fixes going to 1.5.0.x, use 2.0
