When emerge mozilla-1.3-r2 the build (link of nsinstall) will fail with : undefined reference to `__libc_csu_fini'. I really don't know if this is a bug in the ebuild, portage, or if my system has gone bad.

Have you maybe tried to drop the '-fomit-frame-pointer' from C[XX]FLAGS, and remerge glibc, then mozilla ? '-fomit-frame-pointer' is a origin of much evil (*g*) - anyhow, I have not seen this before, so without recreating it will be difficult to track. You are using unmodified gcc ebuild ?
I tried to remerge glibc, gcc/glibc and change C*FLAGS... the error was there all the time. Finally I grabbed a spare disk and rebuilt the system fromscratch (livecd) and the problem disappeared. So I'm convinced that my system had gone bad somehow. I noticed there is a inconsistency in which order gcc/glibc is built between emerge system/world/glibc and gccc. I did rebuild glibc and gcc at some stage, trying to track down a problem building some non-gentoo software with gcc3. Don't really know if this can have something to do with this case. This is how it looks: comedialabs current # emerge -ep system | grep '\(gcc\|glibc\)' [ebuild N ] sys-devel/gcc-config-1.3.3-r1 [ebuild N ] sys-devel/gcc-3.2.3-r1 [ebuild N ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r1 comedialabs current # emerge -ep world | grep '\(gcc\|glibc\)' [ebuild N ] sys-devel/gcc-config-1.3.3-r1 [ebuild N ] sys-devel/gcc-3.2.3-r1 [ebuild N ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r1 comedialabs current # emerge -ep glibc | grep '\(gcc\|glibc\)' [ebuild N ] sys-devel/gcc-config-1.3.3-r1 [ebuild N ] sys-devel/gcc-3.2.3-r1 [ebuild N ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r1 comedialabs current # emerge -ep gcc | grep '\(gcc\|glibc\)' [ebuild N ] sys-devel/gcc-config-1.3.3-r1 [ebuild N ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r1 [ebuild N ] sys-devel/gcc-3.2.3-r1
So this is no longer an issue. Let's mark it as fixed and get it off bugzilla.
Flaw in the build environment
