Somehow I knew I'd be writing a message like this. I'm compiling Firefox-1.0.6 and got the following output from make:

I got a hit on google that sent me to http://forum.nvudev.org/viewtopic.php?t=2334&; but I really don't understand what they are talking about other than it seems they are talking about people moving to 64 bit systems so I'm guessing that is why I am getting this error. Is there a patch for compiling Firefox on a pure 64 CLFS?
