It's worse. You can get around this by tweaking the malloc options (yes, this
signals trouble!). By setting MALLOC_OPTIONS to "j" (default is "AJ" on
-CURRENT) you get past this (I am totally unsure why the "j" matters this
much but it is that does the trick) but it will split its guts on another
file (already during the c++ part: nsPreShell.cpp in
mozilla/layout/html/base IIRC) and that's it. It complains about missing
prototypes. I am totally out of my depth here, since I am not in the least
a c++ guy, but it is my experience that FreeBSD's c++ support is less than
stellar... which is interesting since AFAIK we have a more recent compiler
than most Linux distros. Of course, they use glibc with it... which might
explain things. Anyway, in this exact case I have no idea if it is a c++
problem or a libc_r problem that the malloc tweaking only works around but
later becomes fatal?

(But eg the latest FlightGear doesn't build because of missing prototypes
either.)
