Created attachment 435698 [details] Subset of the complete build log file (orginal file too large) while trying to build on a ppc machine (PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz 15" alubook), link of dynamic libxul fails with the following messages: /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/4.9.3/../../../../powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: read-only segment has dynamic relocations. collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-38.7.0/work/mozilla-esr38/config/rules.mk:812: recipe for target 'libxul.so' failed make[4]: *** [libxul.so] Error 1 Might be a bug in the compilation chain, but I doubt it as firefox is the only package which failed by now while recompiling whole world. # emerge --info '=www-client/firefox-38.7.0::gentoo' Portage 2.2.26 (python 3.4.3-final-0,

After remerging all system: # emerge --verbose --deep --update --newuse @system # emerge --verbose --empty @world # emerge --verbose --deep --update --newuse @installed (the latest one because I had a lot of packages installed but not in the world file), under a new kernel (4.1.15-gentoo-r1), the problem disapeared. Might be a problem mixing old libraries compiled with gcc 3.4.6 and new merge with gcc 4.9.3. Then, I close this bug, not directly www-client/firefox related, even if it was the only package that did not update properly.
