You said that you got Firefox to build. Did you have to add the
ac_cv_visibility_pragma=no line to the .mozconfig? I haven't tried
1.5.0.4 so I don't know if that has been fixed. If you didn't add
that line for Thunderbird, you should try it. With Thunderbird
1.5.0.2, that is the only change I had to make to install on my x86_64
system. It fixed and error that looked like that (relocation
R_X86_64_PC32). I don't remember if the error was at that same exact
spot or not. Hope this helps.

Hi Joel,
No, I heard about the pragma line after I had problems with
Thunderbird and have tried using it but got no further than before. I
built Firefox first with very little intervention. I seem to remember
there was some but I can't remember for sure exactly what. I do know it
wasn't the pragma line though. As far as being in the same place goes
there are at least 15 or more places where I get this error. I'm a bit
embarrassed to say this but I'm desperate to get a working email client.
I promised my wife she could have my old workstation once I get the mail
working on my new machine and she is turning up the heat. :-) When I
couldn't think of anything else to try to fix the problem every time I
hit an so link that failed with this error I copied the so from the
Firefox source tree into the Thunderbird source tree and reran the make.
It would go past the old error and compile a bunch more stuff then stop
at a different so link. Right now I think I have exhausted the common
libs because the last time an so link failed there was no so in the
Firefox tree. So now I'm stuck with actually fixing the problem. My next
attempt will be to try to compile the whole SeaMonkey suite from a
common source tree at one time. I'll see if that works.
