FWIW, I posted it on clfs-support. Try
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.lfs.clfs.support/408/match=gdb
but that just shows it ending in main, perhaps because the debugging
symbols don't exist (--enable-strip was commented out, and I didn't
pass --enable-optimize).
You may want to do "thread apply all bt" instead of just "bt" so it
will follow all threads. I got that from here:

I did - 585k of output (nearly 5000 lines), much of which is looking
in every conceivable place for libraries and other files, before
looking in the obvious places.
I don't know if you used the -e trace=file. That will cut out some of
the system calls that a mortal like myself can't decipher yesterday.
Oh, tucked away near the end is a write to
/root/.mozilla/firefox/console.log - I hadn't noticed that. When I
look at it, lines saying
*** Console log: 2006-11-02 21:16:48 ***
[JavaScript Error: "uncaught exception: unknown (can't convert to
string)"]
[JavaScript Error: "uncaught exception: unknown (can't convert to
string)"]
NB system clock is correct, the log is +1 hour although I've been
on UTC (GMT) since before I tried building 2.0.
So, it's fubar'd somewhere in the javascript. Thanks for prompting
me to rerun strace. What I'd established last night was that it
gets as far as
nsCOMPtr<nsIExtensionManager>
em(do_GetService("@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1"));
NS_ENSURE_TRUE(em, 1);
What file is that in?

Yeah, if there's one thing I've learned this year, it's that pragma
only works on x86, and only mozilla projects seem to try to use it
:) But that's a manageable problem - it happens when you try to
compile it, so you know it's broken.
