Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download firefox-4.0b9 at http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0b9/source/firefox-4.0b9.source.tar.bz2. 2. Extract it: tar -xjf firefox-4.0b9.source.tar.bz2. 3. Create ".mozconfig": cp mozilla-central/browser/config/mozconfig mozilla-central/.mozconfig. 4. Create "firefox-4.0b9-build" and `cd' to it: mkdir firefox-4.0b9-build cd firefox-4.0b9-build 5. Run configure: ../mozilla-central/configure 6. Run make (with silent option): make -s Actual Results: In the directory /home/christophe/gnewsense/dev/metad/icecat/firefox-4.0b9-build/js/src The following command failed to execute properly: c++ -o jsapi.o -c -fvisibility=hidden -DOSTYPE="Linux2.6.33" -DOSARCH=Linux -DEXPORT_JS_API -D__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS -DJS_HAS_CTYPES -DDLL_PREFIX="lib" -DDLL_SUFFIX=".so" -Ictypes/libffi/include -I. -I../../../mozilla-central/js/src -I. -I./../../dist/include -I./../../dist/include/nsprpub -I/home/christophe/gnewsense/dev/metad/icecat/firefox-4.0b9-build/dist/include/nspr -I../../../mozilla-central/js/src -I../../../mozilla-central/js/src/assembler -I../../../mozilla-central/js/src/yarr -fPIC -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Woverloaded-virtual -Wsynth -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -Wcast-align -Wno-invalid-offsetof -Wno-variadic-macros -Werror=return-type -pedantic -Wno-long-long -fno-strict-aliasing -pthread -pipe -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -O3 -fstrict-aliasing -fomit-frame-pointer -DUSE_SYSTEM_MALLOC=1 -DENABLE_ASSEMBLER=1 -DENABLE_JIT=1 -DMOZILLA_CLIENT -include ./js-confdefs.h -MD -MF .deps/jsapi.pp ../../../mozilla-central/js/src/jsapi.cpp make[3]: *** [jsapi.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [libs_tier_js] Error 2 make[1]: *** [tier_js] Error 2 make: *** [default] Error 2 Expected Results: The `c++' command should have shown no error. Arch: mips64el-unknown-linux-gnu (Loongson 2F on Lemote Yeeloong). Compiler: GCC 4.3.2. OS: gNewSense metad (almost a debian lenny).

I don't actually see any error output there, other than the "Error 1". It'd be useful to get the actual compiler error message. More than useful, actually, there's no possible way to know what's wrong otherwise.

If the result of `make -d' (for debugging output) is sufficient, here is the interesting part of `make -d': No need to remake target `jsapi.cpp'; using VPATH name `../../../mozilla-central/js/src/jsapi.cpp'.

I just needed to see the compiler output, of which the relevant bit is: ../../../mozilla-central/js/src/jsinterpinlines.h: In member function ‘bool js::InvokeSessionGuard::invoke(JSContext*) const’: ../../../mozilla-central/js/src/jsinterpinlines.h:589: error: ‘struct JSScript’ has no member named ‘getJIT’ This looks like it was already fixed in bug 623277, but that didn't make the beta 9 release. You'll either have to build directly from our Mercurial repository or wait for beta 10.
