That's pretty odd.  It's been a while since I built 1.0x on Linux, but 
when I look at the one on FC3, there are no symbols listed in 
libdocshell.so or libgklayout.so.  That's probably because the build 
without debugging (--disable-debug).

I looked at a build log from 1.0.6.  libdocshell isn't linked to 
libgklayout, and all the symbols are stripped since I disable debugging, 
too.

I doubt --disable-tests is the culprit unless it just happens to trigger 
a bug in the build system.  Are you building with debugging?  Could you 
post your mozconfig file?

Sorry, wish I did.
