Description Jan Kuemmel 2007-03-10 17:22:57 UTC

the cvs head revision of mozilla xulrunner does not compile due to a gcc bug which is fixed in the gcc redhat branch since june 2006. 
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26905 
Thus, the people using Fedora core 5 say they can compile xulrunner.
I had no success with the following gentoo gcc versions:
4.1.2 
3.4.6
3.3.4

Please provide an ebuild for at least one gcc version with which xulrunner compiles.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. checkout the head revision of xulrunner following the mozilla build instructions
2. try to compile it on a gentoo amd64 machine 


Actual Results:  
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: creating a DT_TEXTREL in object.
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: ../../staticlib/components/libgklayout.a(nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `_moz_cairo_new_path' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value


Expected Results:  
it should compile

with gcc 3.3.4:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: creating a DT_TEXTREL in object.
