Have you recently upgraded any of your toolchain before compiling either mozilla or firebird? What is the output of emerge info?

what i did recently was replacing netscape-flash with gplflash as it was
required by some other package (dont remember which) - these packages block
one another...
Comment 3 Markus Luisser 2003-10-31 02:49:20 UTC 
i unmerge gplflash, emerged netscape flash and remerged firebird - this seems
to work now - i get a different error :)
Comment 4 Brad Laue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-15 09:34:08 UTC 
Apparent problem with gpl flash
