!!! When you file a bug report, please include the following information:
GENTOO_VM=sun-jdk-1.5  CLASSPATH="" JAVA_HOME="/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0.07"
JAVACFLAGS="-source 1.4 -target 1.4" COMPILER=""

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Emerging xulrunner fails with aforementioned compile error. Most curiously, -fPIC is set during compilation of all (?) relevant objects.

Add at least the line, that built gfxPlatform.o,
also, in this specific case, your 'emerge --info' would be
useful, specifically things like CFLAGS/LDFLAGS, gcc/libtool/binutils versions,
etc.
