Updating the summary, since this error doesn't seem to be the usual startup-cache-precompilation error.
Comment 2 Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-05-04 18:58:37 UTC
Is it normal on ppc to see the following on every single compiled object?

It is for Firefox. As far as I can recall on some other ebuilds too, but certainly not for all ebuilds.
Comment 4 ernsteiswuerfel archtester 2017-05-27 18:07:28 UTC
This problem still persists on my machine with current stable firefox-52.1.0-r1.

# emerge -pqv firefox
[ebuild   R   ] www-client/firefox-52.1.0-r1  USE="dbus gmp-autoupdate jemalloc pulseaudio startup-notification -bindist -custom-cflags -custom-optimization -debug -gtk2 -hardened -hwaccel -jack (-neon) (-pgo) (-rust) (-selinux) (-system-cairo) -system-harfbuzz -system-icu* -system-jpeg -system-libevent -system-libvpx -system-sqlite {-test} -wifi" L10N="de -ach -af -an -ar -as -ast -az -bg -bn-BD -bn-IN -br -bs -ca -cak -cs -cy -da -dsb -el -en-GB -en-ZA -eo -es-AR -es-CL -es-ES -es-MX -et -eu -fa -ff -fi -fr -fy -ga -gd -gl -gn -gu -he -hi -hr -hsb -hu -hy -id -is -it -ja -ka -kab -kk -km -kn -ko -lij -lt -lv -mai -mk -ml -mr -ms -nb -nl -nn -or -pa -pl -pt-BR -pt-PT -rm -ro -ru -si -sk -sl -son -sq -sr -sv -ta -te -th -tr -uk -uz -vi -xh -zh-CN -zh-TW"

Playing around with different USE-flags I found out that USE="system-icu" serves as a workaround - emerge is able to finish the build!

However, sadly firefox-52.1.0-r1 still won't work on my G5. FF crashes with "firefox[11760]: bad frame in handle_rt_signal32: 00000000ff507a20 nip 1d4bce2c lr 1d4bce00". Looks similar to bug #594864?
Comment 5 Kris Hepler 2017-06-05 13:50:58 UTC
Install phase fails at the same place on my G4.  It aborts on this line:

Executing /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-52.1.0-r1/work/firefox-52.1.0esr/ff/dist/bin/xpcshell -g /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-52.1.0-r1/work/firefox-52.1.0esr/ff/dist/bin/ -a /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-52.1.0-r1/work/firefox-52.1.0esr/ff/dist/bin/ -f /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-52.1.0-r1/work/firefox-52.1.0esr/toolkit/mozapps/installer/precompile_cache.js -e precompile_startupcache("resource://gre/");

When I cd to "/var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-52.1.0-r1/work/firefox-52.1.0esr/ff/browser/installer" and manually execute that line it fails with:

There is no libmozalloc.so anywhere within the build dir.
Comment 6 Merlijn Wajer 2017-07-23 17:42:15 UTC
Can confirm that this happens with thunderbird 52.2.0.

I do currently have firefox 52.1.0-r1 installed, but I recall I had to do some hacking with ICU data files. If I recall correctly, the ones Firefox shipped were in the wrong endianness format. I also have a G5 PPC970MP, ppc64.

If I get Firefox 53 or Thunderbird 52 to work, I'll let you know.

BTW, I don't think there are necessarily libraries missing.

Comment 7 Merlijn Wajer 2017-07-23 17:47:18 UTC
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=926980 suggests to build with -with-system-icu or --disable-intl-api.

system-icu used to be a USE flag, but no more it seems.
Comment 8 Merlijn Wajer 2017-07-23 21:01:35 UTC
Confirmed. Perhaps try USE="system-icu" ? It doesn't look like Mozilla is keen on fixing their ICU mess.

eppel ~ # USE="system-icu" emerge -a1 thunderbird

Comment 9 ernsteiswuerfel archtester 2017-11-11 23:34:40 UTC
I think this can be closed as www-client/firefox-52.1.0-r1 is no longer in tree and www-client/firefox-52.4.0 builds fine with USE="system-icu".

More recent versions of >mail-client/thunderbird-52.2.0 are available too.
