Firefox 1.5.0.4 seriously pukes up during compilation. This problem is reproducible on both 32-bit and 64-bit. I had to duplicate the firefox ebuild in my overlay directory, to avoid this bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141793. Maybe that's the problem? The build log is too long to list here, I'm attaching it. Sorry if it's too long, but I thought you might need the info. The important bit (as far as I can tell) is here: <some bits before> gmake[4]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.4/work/mozilla/security/nss/lib/util'-e line 3, near "while" syntax error at -e line 7, near "}" Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors. i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -o Linux2.6_x86_glibc_PTH_OPT.OBJ/quickder.o -c -O2 -fPIC -DLINUX1_2 -Di386 -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -DLINUX2_1 -ansi -pipe -DLINUX -Dlinux -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -DHAVE_STRERROR -DXP_UNIX -UDEBUG -DNDEBUG -D_REENTRANT -I/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.4/work/mozilla/dist/include -I../../../../dist/public/nss -I../../../../dist/private/nss -I../../../../dist/include -I/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.4/work/mozilla/dist/include/nspr -I/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.4/work/mozilla/dist/include/dbm -I../../../../dist/public/dbm quickder.c from secasn1.h:50, from quickder.c:43: secport.h:106:39: prlog.h: No such file or directory secport.h:108:19: plstr.h: No such file or directory In file included from seccomon.h:61, from secasn1.h:50, from quickder.c:43: <some bits after> Doing a search for 'plarena' wll get to this error message in the log file.

Isn't your ACCEPT_KEYWORDS invalid?

From your build log it can be deduced that at least the system-nss patch and others are missing, therefore it tries to build nss from the source and does not use system-nss leading to the error you posted. You should resync and try again (not from overlay), in the meantime firefox-1.5.0.6 was added to the portage tree.
Obsolete version of firefox, so bug is now invalid. Woohoo! One less bug!
