Currently the ebuild just accepts a 4GB size-limited portage tmp dir and failed during linker phase
hhm - OTOH the tmpfs directory was just filled by about 3.7 GB. Probably the RAM was to low and not the tmpfs itself ... ?
at a x86 at least 7.3 GB are needed ================================================================= Package Settings ================================================================= www-client/firefox-28.0 was built with the following: USE="alsa dbus jit libnotify minimal startup-notification -bindist -custom-cflags -custom-optimization -debug -gstreamer (-pgo) -pulseaudio (-selinux) -system-cairo -system-icu -system-jpeg -system-sqlite -test -wifi" LINGUAS="en_GB -af -ar -as -ast -be -bg -bn_BD -bn_IN -br -bs -ca -cs -csb -cy -da -de -el -en_ZA -eo -es_AR -es_CL -es_ES -es_MX -et -eu -fa -fi -fr -fy_NL -ga_IE -gd -gl -gu_IN -he -hi_IN -hr -hu -hy_AM -id -is -it -ja -kk -km -kn -ko -ku -lt -lv -mai -mk -ml -mr -nb_NO -nl -nn_NO -or -pa_IN -pl -pt_BR -pt_PT -rm -ro -ru -si -sk -sl -son -sq -sr -sv_SE -ta -te -th -tr -uk -vi -xh -zh_CN -zh_TW -zu" CFLAGS="-march=native -pipe -g -ggdb -mno-avx" CXXFLAGS="-march=native -pipe -g -ggdb -mno-avx"
It doesn't check that to begin with. It does check USE={debug,pgo} but that shouldn't affect C*FLAGS. Also, FEATURES=splitdebug is irrelevant here, it's -g[gdb] that matters.
(In reply to Jeroen Roovers from comment #3) >It does check USE={debug,pgo} /me wonders if a general thumb rule could be to just double the expected size if -g[gdb] is given ?

People using -g[gdb] should have a better understanding of how much larger their setup is gonna be to complete such a build from the get go.
If you feel I have closed your bug and it is still a current issue, please reopen and update it completely. We will not work bugs that have no ebuild in tree any longer or can not be reproduced with a current system. Thank You for your support and understanding The Mozilla Team
