[gentoo-user] firefox-9.0 won't compile

[gentoo-user] firefox-9.0 won't compile

[Grant]

Does anyone have any ideas on this?  I just completed an emerge -e
world so I don't think anything needs to be re-emerged.  Everything
compiles fine except for gcc-4.5.3-r1 (I'm on gcc-4.3.4) and
firefox-9.0:

That looks like a change in how the compiler treats bad code, or the
introduction of bad code in an updated version of Firefox. The
compiler can't sanely do pointer arithmetic without knowing the
pointer type. Looks like the version you're compiling with throws an
error on that.

Are using anything like -Werror and/or -Wall in your CFLAGS?

Yes, enabling --Wno-pointer-arith should help.

At first glance firefox uses the arithmetic pointer and Wno-pointer-arith
lifts warnings or errors when used.
This is what gcc says : error: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic

What it gives without this flag and Is there a particular reason for using this
one ?

I'm having trouble following.  I'm using:

CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"

Should I try with different flags?

I'using CFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe -msse4.1"

Firefox builds with success for me. gcc is 4.5.3 for me. It's strange.
I had a similar problem but it had a bad kernel configuration. When I have
this problem it's gcc receive SIGSEV signal.
I don't think that you have the same problem like me.
I test in a virtual machine and firefox compile with success: CFLAGS are
"-march=native -pipe -O2"

I've not really idea for your problem :/

Thanks everyone for the help with this.  I was able to compile
gcc-4.5.3-r1 and now it looks like firefox-9.0 will compile if I can
keep it from running out of memory.  I'm going to compile without
-pipe soon and if that doesn't work I've got more RAM on the way.

Looks your variable MAKEOPT in make.conf. Decrease the "-jX" flag for "-j1"
can solve the problem but your problem it's still strange.
It is possible that this comes from a lack of ram.
