Any chance you upgraded to freetype-2.6.1? If yes downgrad to freetype-2.6 and try again. Oh and please report either success or failure to this bug :)

[Comment 4 Sam Jorna (wraeth) 2015-10-05 07:16:11 UTC]

You are correct, I had freetype-2.6.1 installed. Downgrading to freetype-2.6 and retrying the thunderbird build succeeded.

www-client/firefox and www-client/seamonkey are also affected by this.

[Comment 6 Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) 2015-10-05 14:25:46 UTC]

Didn't we already fix this bug, two or three versions ago??  I thought it was even included upstream already..  ok, i'll build-test to confirm which 38.x are affected here and adjust the patchset accordingly.

I can confirm it isnt effected here with latest ~arch build.

The issue is that freetype-2.6.1 changed header locations, and the previous fix (for freetype-2.6.0) only fixed headers in their original locations.  There's an upstream patch that lands in mozilla-43.  I'm rolling new patchsets now with this included and the updates to ebuilds will be in the tree within a couple of hours.

fixes for all mozilla packages are in repo.
