Where does it burp? Can you post, say, the last 10-15 lines of the =
compile?

Also, I hope you do not have any funky CFLAGS set in your make.conf?

Sorry for the ambiguity, I indeed meant to launch FF from xterm (or some =
equivalent Terminal Emulator in X) and report back the error. But since =
you say there is no problem with that, guess things should be good.

This looks pretty generic, so nothing to complain about.

Okay, try this out. Go to preferences and disable "hardware =
acceleration". Also go to about:config and search for "gfx". Set the =
property "gfx.direct2d.disabled" to true. Bounce the browser and go to =
"about:support". At the bottom of the page, "GPU Accelerated Windows" =
should read "0/1". See if that makes a difference.
