Huge and non-working context menu when using bundled libraries

Hi,

Because of bug #497514, I used to emerge www-client/firefox with system-cairo, system-icu, system-jpeg, system-libvpx and system-sqlite USE flags, as advised in [1].

Now that =sys-devel/gcc-4.9.1 is ia64 stable and supposed to solve the short data segment overflow error [2], I've rebuilt =www-client/firefox-43.0 without the above system-* flags, thus using the bundled libraries rather than the system-wide ones.

While =www-client/firefox-43.0 emerged successfully, context menu is badly broken (cf. attached bundled-libs.png screenshot): it's huge and doesn't work (i.e. clicking an item has now effect). Rebuilding =www-client/firefox-43.0 again, enabling the system-* flags, brought back a working context menu (cf. attached system-libs.png screenshot).

Since I was always building www-client/firefox with system-* flags set to get a working firefox binary, I'm not even sure if context menu was OK in the past without these flags, hence the lack of Firefox version in this BR. Sorry!

     Émeric
