Description A. Person 2012-02-05 21:50:21 UTC
firefox-9.0 won't compile on my x86 hardened system.  The only other package that won't compile is gcc so I'm stuck on gcc-4.3.4.  I did an emerge -e world a few days ago and everything else compiles fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge firefox
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
mozilla-release/js/src/jsgcchunk.cpp:243: error: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic

Expected Results:  
successful compile

firefox build log
Comment 2 Jory A. Pratt gentoo-dev 2012-02-06 03:21:08 UTC
compiled fine on x86 hardened here, what is the reason your gcc fails to upgrade?
Comment 3 A. Person 2012-02-06 16:19:02 UTC
I'm not quite sure why gcc fails either.  Here is my bug with all the info:

Comment 4 A. Person 2012-02-06 17:42:06 UTC
I get the same from firefox-10.0.  I did just bring this Gentoo install back from over 3 years powered down, but everything is working perfectly except for compiling gcc and firefox.
Comment 5 A. Person 2012-02-08 04:58:33 UTC
It looks like this is fixed after successfully compiling gcc-4.5.3-r1.
