I found a reason and I am rebuilding firefox myself on FC3. Anyone from redhat read this stuff? I wonder why this problem shows up, is it because glibc was built with the offending gcc? Here's the gcc bug: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17560 Is there a fix in some fedora updates or something? Richard If you are having problems building firefox 1.0 then try this patch: (the patch can be found here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=166362) --- nsprpub/pr/src/misc/Makefile.in.foo Wed Jun 11 15:42:57 2003 +++ nsprpub/pr/src/misc/Makefile.in Wed Jun 11 15:42:49 2003 @@ -82,6 +82,14 @@ include $(topsrcdir)/config/rules.mk +NONOPT_CFLAGS=$(filter-out -O%, $(CFLAGS)) + +ifeq ($(OS_ARCH),Linux) +$(OBJDIR)/prdtoa.$(OBJ_SUFFIX): prdtoa.c + @$(MAKE_OBJDIR) + $(CC) -o $@ -c $(NONOPT_CFLAGS) -ffloat-store $< +endif + # # Generate prerr.h, prerr.c, and prerr.properties from prerr.et. # On Sun, 23 Jan 2005 18:01:40 -0800, Richard Hubbell <richard.hubbell@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > This is a very plain fc3 system, no KDE or Gnome, just xdm and xfce. > When I try to run mozilla or firefox they both sigsegv.
