I've been trying to install mozilla-firebird-0.6.1 on my Pegasos (PPC G3/600) but it fails with an internal compiler error. I have tried to disable distcc and I have tried using a simple CFLAG="-mcpu=750 -O3 -pipe" and "-mcpu=750 -O2 -pipe". I'm getting the following error: g++ -o nsSlidingString.o -c -DOSTYPE=\"Linux2.4\" -DOSARCH=\"Linux\" -D_IMPL_NS_ COM -I../../dist/include/xpcom -I../../dist/include/string -I../../dist/include -I/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-firebird-0.6.1/work/mozilla/dist/include/nspr -I /usr/X11R6/include -fPIC -I/usr/X11R6/include -frtti -fno-handle-exceptions -Wconversion -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Woverloaded-virtual -Wsynth -Wno-ctor -dtor-privacy -Wno-long-long -O2 -pipe -mcpu=750 -mpowerpc-gfxopt -mmultiple -ms tring -Wno-return-type -w -Wno-return-type -w -Wno-return-type -w -s -fforce-add r -fshort-wchar -pthread -pipe -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -ffunction-sections -O2 -I/u sr/X11R6/include -DMOZILLA_CLIENT -include ../../mozilla-config.h -Wp,-MD,.deps/ nsSlidingString.pp nsSlidingString.cpp nsPrintfCString.cpp: In constructor `nsPrintfCString::nsPrintfCString(const char*, ...)': nsPrintfCString.cpp:55: unrecognizable insn: (insn 17 16 18 (parallel[ (set (mem:SI (reg/f:SI 116) [4 S4 A32]) (reg:SI 5 r5)) (clobber (scratch:SI)) (set (mem:SI (reg/f:SI 11 7) [4 S4 A32]) (reg:SI 6 r6)) (set (mem:SI (reg/f:SI 118) [4 S4 A32]) (reg:SI 7 r7)) (set (mem:SI (reg/f:SI 119) [4 S4 A32]) (reg:SI 8 r8)) (set (mem:SI (reg/f:SI 120) [4 S4 A32]) (reg:SI 9 r9)) (set (mem:SI (reg/f:SI 121) [4 S4 A32]) (reg:SI 10 r10)) ] ) -1 (insn_list 8 (insn_list 10 (insn_list 12 (insn_list 14 (insn_list 16 (nil )))))) (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:SI 10 r10) (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg/f:SI 121) (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:SI 9 r9) (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg/f:SI 120) (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:SI 8 r8) (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg/f:SI 119) (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:SI 7 r7) (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg/f:SI 118) (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:SI 6 r6) (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg/f:SI 117) (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:SI 5 r5) (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg/f:SI 116) (expr_list:REG_UNUSED (scratch:SI) (nil))))))))))))))) nsPrintfCString.cpp:55: Internal compiler error in extract_insn, at recog.c: 2149 Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.

I get the same error with 0.7.
I got the same error with 0.7 and 0.6.1 on my iBook2.
changing my CFLAGS from "-O2 -pipe -mcpu=750 -mpowerpc-gfxopt -mmultiple -mstring" to "-O2 -pipe -mcpu=750" solved the problem.
I'm seeing the same sort of thing here (iBook 2.2, gcc 3.2.3-r3, glibc-2.3.2-r3, kernel 2.4.22-ben2 from stable ppc-sources) in trying to build several different things: mozilla, gtk+, glib, gkrellm, tcptraceroute, and others. In some cases, builds fail when -mpowerpc-gopt and/or -mpowerpc-gfxopt are in $CFLAGS (e.g., gtk+); in other cases, it seems to be linked to -mmultiple or -mstring (tcptraceroute). For gtk+, glib, and others, these CFLAGS work for me: "-Os -pipe -mcpu=750 -fsigned-char -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer -fstack-protector -s". Given that there seems to be something up here in ppc-land, I'll be leaving these as my $CFLAGS for now. For mozilla (1.5-r1), however, I needed to use "-Os -pipe -mcpu=750 -fomit-frame-pointer -s" to get a successful build.
you should at least remove -fsigned-char.
closing as this is more or less fixed, (dont use funky cflags kids)
