Description Sean McGovern 2012-05-29 22:07:31 UTC

I recently installed jemalloc and was surprised that it did not cause SpiderMonkey to be rebuilt.

Looking at the ebuild, it just adds --enable-jemalloc to the configure options, and it looks like the upstream version does not consider it an error for jemalloc to not be present when asked for.

Installing a possible compile time dependency after installing wouldn't normally cause anything to be (automatically?) rebuilt.

--enable-jemalloc does not enable system jemalloc, no mozilla product uses system jemalloc.
