I don't think it's the same bug either -- I looked that the bugzilla 
above before and

  - there is no mention anywhere of trying to generate a 64bit executable

  - Mozilla compiles fine with all variants of gcc-3.x
on my Solaris 8 box as long as you don't use GNU binutils (as, ld...)

as documented at ftp://depot.mcom.com/pub/pioch/mozilla-1.4a/ README

(my build is an UltraSparc, albeit 32-bit, sparc executable)

PS: I fail to understand why you're trying to build a 64-bit Mozilla 
though. Do you think it doesn't gobble up enough memory already ? :-)
