Using merged desktop and hardened profile (not sure if that has any relevance), emerge thunderbird builds successfully then fails with a python error. This failure occurs with both python2 and python3 as active system python. thunderbird-bin installs successfully.

Fails with "mozpack.errors.ErrorMessage: Error: Error while running startup cache precompilation"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge thunderbird
Actual Results:  
Ebuild fails to install

Expected Results:  
Ebuild to install successfully

Build log and 'emerge --info' to be attached.

Okay, so it looks like PAX_MARKINGS="XT" (in make.conf) broke the install (presumably failing to mark something (xpcshell) appropriately).  Came across this when I was looking at another issue; and removing this from make.conf resolved it (and a subsequent build/install of thunderbird succeeded).

I had PAX_MARKINGS set when trying to fix something (I actually thought I set it when trying to resolve why this wasn't installing). I don't know why xpcshell wasn't showing up in dmesg - i would have thought it should...
