I 'emerge -uv world' and picked up a new copy of mozilla but it dies on startup. Found the problem to be the compiler flags, I also found some problems with the ebuild not doing a 'makemake' in certain directories. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge mozilla 2. 3. Actual Results: See comments above. Expected Results: It should work.

Created attachment 20917 [details] Patched mozilla ebuild Attaching my patched mozilla ebuild - It worked for me on Alpha.
I'm noticing the presence of ./makemake in your ebuild there. Do you otherwise experience problems building enigmail, or is this just an older revision of the ebuild?
No, I did have problem with the build.
Paul, I committed changes to the ebuild that should solve the problem. It's a little different from your patch ... let me know what you think.
Finally was able to fully fix the mozilla and mozilla-firebird ebuilds and get them tested today. You will need to re-sync to get my most recent changes. Closing this bug.
Reading through the output from emerging mozilla-firefox-1.0.5, I noticed that almost 2 years later on my amd64 system, Firefox is still being built with only -O1, with a reference to this bug in explanation. Is this right?
@Tom Felker Probably not, I opened a bug report about it but nobody seems to care: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86571
