Done! The "no debug, no optimization" build works like a champ. Looks like the gcc/g++-4.2.4-3 optimizer has issues, as does ld-2.18.0.20080103 (the default "relax" option). Steve L.: if you're still following this thread, opening bugs against binutils, gcc, and g++ with "Repeat by: build firefox-3.0.3..." is pretty much guaranteed to be ignored. Even worse, it's fairly certain all these are upstream issues, not specific to Debian. Any advice as to how to proceed? Current thought is to notify the applicable Debian package maintainers, make sure they understand the problem, then let them push it upstream as appropriate... Eric Dorland and Mike Hommey (iceweasel package maintainers) are likely aware of the Alpha build issues, or at least would understand them well enough to deal effectively with the upstream people, yes? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bob Tracy | "I was a beta tester for dirt.
