Optimization error starts at line 571, key word is "Executing" at the

Your (Bruce, who asked, and anybody else, please) help is much appreciated.
I will start by comparing python versions in the two systems:
LFS7.1 host (SVN-20120311) (error occurs)
LFS7.6 (no error with enable-optimize
The following relates specifically to Firefox 32.0.1 (and Seamonkey
2.29), but may well still apply to 33.0.3.
There is apparently a gcc compiler issue causing the Python script,
'packager.py' to fail while it is precompiling a list of Javascript
scripts, using Mozilla's (internal) js shell, 'xpcshell' - essentially,
it (i.e. xpcshell) falls over about half way through the list, as your
log demonstrates.
Now as I understand it, for gcc 4.9.x, certain 'undefined' behaviour has
been changed, in particular, the handling (signed) integer overflow, so
that any program that was tacitly relying on a certain behaviour will
have problems, which could very well be what is happening here (i.e.
some counter is overflowing).
See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1047803 for some
discussion.
(In other words, it is a gcc problem, not a Python problem)
Using ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O2" (rather than
--disable-optimize), appears to cure the problem for both packages.
