I can't emerge firefox-1.5.0.1 with my gcc. Config log blames an unknown option "-fno-reorder-functions". I commented the following line out of the ebuild and it now appears to be building happily. (I don't know, however, whether that could cause any mischief.) #append-flags -freorder-blocks -fno-reorder-functions I rated this bug as severe because 1.5.0.1 is needed by all firefox users as a security fix. ------- here's my C compiler: eustace mozilla-firefox # gcc --version gcc (GCC) 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r2, propolice) Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Your toolchain is *way* outdated, you are missing a couple of automake and autoconf versions, have bogus libtool-1.4.3-r1, wrong linux-headers (2.4.19 with 2.6 kernel) etc. etc. etc. We can't support such system.
