The generated xpidl binary (amongst others) in 1.5_rc3's build (_rc1 has the same problem) contains TEXTRELs, which prevent it from being executed later in the build process. Fairly obviously, this prevents the build from completing. I had a brief attempt at tracking them down, but mozilla's assembly code made my head hurt so I gave up. /var/tmp/portage/mozilla-firefox-1.5_rc3-r1/work/mozilla/config/nsinstall -R -m 644 nsAgg.h nsAutoP tr.h nsCom.h nsDebugImpl.h nsIAllocator.h nsIID.h nsISupportsObsolete.h nsTraceRefcntImpl.h nsWeakP tr.h nsInterfaceRequestorAgg.h ../../dist/include/xpcom /var/tmp/portage/mozilla-firefox-1.5_rc3-r1/work/mozilla/config/nsinstall -R -m 644 nsError.h nsISu pportsBase.h nscore.h ../../dist/include/xpcom /var/tmp/portage/mozilla-firefox-1.5_rc3-r1/work/mozilla/config/nsinstall -R -m 644 nsError.h nsISu pportsBase.h nscore.h ../../dist/sdk/include Creating ../../dist/idl /var/tmp/portage/mozilla-firefox-1.5_rc3-r1/work/mozilla/config/nsinstall -R -m 644 nsIConsoleListe ner.idl nsIConsoleMessage.idl nsIConsoleService.idl nsIErrorService.idl nsIException.idl nsIExcepti onService.idl nsIVersionComparator.idl ../../dist/idl Creating _xpidlgen/.done nsIConsoleListener.idl ../../dist/bin/xpidl -m header -w -I. -I../../dist/idl -o _xpidlgen/nsIConsoleListener nsIConsoleLi stener.idl ../../dist/bin/xpidl: error while loading shared libraries: cannot make segment writable for reloca tion: Permission denied gmake[3]: *** [_xpidlgen/nsIConsoleListener.h] Error 127 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-firefox-1.5_rc3-r1/work/mozilla/xpcom/base' maya mozilla # scanelf -qtR .

I have swaped out a visibility patch and applied across all archs now. Please test I did not create a revision bump so still -r1.
The newer ebuild seems to have fixed the TEXTRELs, but still fails here due to perl segfaults. I suspect this isn't a mozilla problem though, so it looks as though that's probably fixed it. I'll confirm when I sort out the perl issues.
OK, having sorted out the perl errors the current 1.5 ebuild installs and works.
