mozilla-1.7.3 appeared in the tree today so I rushed to emerge it. The compilation has failed during the emerge at the following step: g++ -o nsWSAUtils.o -c -DOSTYPE=\"Linux2.6\" -DOSARCH=\"Linux\" -I./../../security/src -I../../../../dist/include/xpcom -I../../../../dist/include/string -I../../../../dist/include/caps -I../../../../dist/include/dom-I../../../../dist/include/js -I../../../../dist/include/xpconnect -I../../../../dist/include/necko -I../../../../dist/include/intl -I../../../../dist/include/xmlextras -I../../../../dist/include/pref -I../../../../dist/include/websrvcs -I../../../../dist/include -I/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-1.7.3/work/mozilla/dist/include/nspr -I/usr/X11R6/include -fPIC -I/usr/X11R6/include -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -Wconversion -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Woverloaded-virtual -Wsynth -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -mcpu=7450 -pipe -Wno-deprecated -fshort-wchar -pthread -pipe -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -ffunction-sections -O2 -I/usr/X11R6/include -DMOZILLA_CLIENT -include ../../../../mozilla-config.h -Wp,-MD,.deps/nsWSAUtils.pp nsWSAUtils.cpp In member function `nsresult nsWebScriptsAccess::CreateEntry(nsIDOMNodeList*, AccessInfoEntry**)': cc1plus: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.

I am sorry, scrap that it seems it was comming from my configuration. I included preemption in my kernel yesterday as an experiment and today it gave rise to no end of apparent breakage including compilation of some packages. In fact I even had some trouble recompiling a kernel without preemption included kernel compilation _was_breaking_ as well. I had to reboot in single user mode without X or anything to be able to recover (I am not sure why it worked, it must interaction of several elements). I may fill a bug about preemption following this experiment. Sorry for the trouble.
because user said it was invalid :p
