I've tried to emerge both ebuilds of mozilla-Firefox on my ppc, and they both come up similar errors about not being able to compile.

I can confirm, happens on my G4 too. Using gcc 3.2.3-r4, CFLAGS="-pipe -Os -mcpu=7400 -maltivec -mabi-altivec -mmultiple -mstring".
"-mmultiple -mstring" is not safe when used with -mcpu=7400, remove it. It should be "-mabi=altivec" not "-mabi-altivec".
Well, removing -mmultiple and -mstring allows it to compile for a while, but then it hits a similar error. (-mabi-altivec was a typo BTW, it's correct in my make.conf.)

Try further reducing your CFLAGS. I had the same problem and it went away when I switched to "-O2 -pipe"
Argh, never mind. I overrode CFLAGS on the command line before and for some reason part of the build was still using the settings from make.conf. Now that I changed make.conf it builds fine. So I guess this bug can become invalid or be changed to a GCC bug. I couldn't find anything about -mmultiple & -mstring in GCC's Bugzilla, has the problem been fixed in later releases?
Sorry, I don't know about -mmultiple & -mstring, but I'm glad to hear it is working for you now.
