[gentoo-user] Firefox and Thunderbird compile issue

[Daniel Frey <djqfrey@gmail.com>]

It looks like sometime in the last few days Firefox and Thunderbird
versions were bumped.

I've unfortunately got a problem (oddly enough, the same or very similar
problems) with both:

Has anyone run into this?

I checked my locale, it's set correctly as utf8. This machine has also
been kept up to date (it's not the same machine that I posted about a
python issue earlier.)

I don't know if Thunderbird is stopping at exactly the same place, but
it was the same "ordinal not in range" error.
