Each time I have compiled Mozilla-Firebird, in any computer I have tried, always at compile time, it makes the PC-Speaker beep... this is quite annoying (mostly at night) so I wonder wether I have been doing something wrong or it's just a bug (??) in the compilation. In fact, it does compile, but during compilation it produces random pc-speaker beeps... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge mozilla-firebird Actual Results: The pc-speaker beeps during compilation, it's not a continuous beep, but random in time short time beeps. Expected Results: Beeps should not be produced.

Believe it or not, this is a Frequently Asked Question and is addressed in the online FAQ list: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/faq.xml#doc_chap7_sect6
Incredible! But the question is... why? Why does it do it? There must be a logical explanation after all... TY for the FAQ link.
perhaps the moz people can explain exactly why ? at any rate the bug is closed, we have a FAQ for this ;)
Does this mean this bug should be reported at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ ??
