i tried icecat and ran into the similar (if not the same) problem.

Comment 2 glenn burns 2009-12-16 03:52:51 UTC

removed keyword debug, jemalloc error now gone.

changed CFLAG to O2, same results.  downgraded xulrunner to v1.9.0.14 and mozilla-firefox to v3.0.14

same result...  probably not a xulrunner or firefox issue at this point.

i've seen other bugs similar to this, but i hesitate to mark it as duplicate.  the other bugs indicate that re-emerging xulrunner and firefox fixed the issues, no such luck here.

Comment 3 glenn burns 2009-12-16 14:17:06 UTC

after numerous attempts at different versions of firefox and and icecat and xulrunner, i decided to do and emerge -eva system with the CFLAG set to a more conservative -O2 setting.

firefox-bin now works
firefox now also works
icecat now works
